Uniqsis has introduced an interchangeable reactor tray that extends the working temperature range of the Uniqsis Flowsyn Continuous Flow Reactor to -40C.
The Cold Tray reactor module was developed in response to user requests for sub-ambient capability and can be fitted retrospectively to existing Flowsyn systems in a few minutes.
Used with a suitable heater/chiller unit (M16 and barbed connections are available for freedom of choice) and an appropriate thermal fluid, the system has a validated temperature range from -40C to +150C and maintains stable low temperature conditions for extended periods.
Control is via the standard Flowsyn user interface for added convenience: no additional PC is required, meaning the system has a tiny footprint.
The Cold Tray can be used with the Uniqsis coiled tubing reactors, column reactors or a combination of both.
Two tubing reactors can be simultaneously fitted to the cooled coil module and interconnected via a T-piece, allowing the low temperature introduction of reagents at an intermediate stage of the reaction.
Exothermic mixing can be controlled by fitting a glass mixer-block cooled to the same temperature as the reactor to precisely control the temperature at the point of mixing.
The Cold Tray is compatible with the recently introduced Flowsyn Multiple Experiment Package, which can run up to 10 sequential experiments with different reaction times, temperatures and reagent stoichiometries and is ideal for reaction profiling and optimisation studies.
The Flowsyn Continuous Flow Reactor integrates all the essential elements for continuous flow chemistry into a single, easy-to-use package.
Flowsyn is simple to set up and operate and offers safe, unattended operation for tasks such as synthesis, reaction optimisation and scale-up experiments, in quantities from milligrams to hundreds of grams.
