TESTA Analytical Solutions e.K has developed the Chemistry flowmeter, aimed at labs looking to improve accuracy, reproducibility, and yield from liquid phase chemical reactions.
Accurately measuring the rate of addition of liquid reagents is a critical consideration when undertaking batch or flow chemistry reactions. If using peristaltic or piston pumps to add expensive chemicals or other fluids into a reaction, the rate of addition needs to be accurate and constant. A variable rate can also result in adverse outcomes, expensive reagent overuse, lower final product yield and safety issues. Inaccurate flow measurement can mean the difference between profit and loss.
Designed to be fully compatible with most solvents, acids, and bases, the Chemistry flowmeter provides continuous, non-invasive measurement of the flow rate of pumps being used to add liquid reagents to chemical reactions. Compact, and powered via a USB connection, it uses a thermal flow sensor that is accurate, sensitive, and high-resolution. The non-invasive sensor can operate over a wide dynamic range and is suitable for monitoring both batch and flow chemistry reagent addition pumps.
The flowmeter uses an intuitive PC-based app for continuous recording, display and storage of the measured flow rates. The current reagent addition flow rate is also displayed on the devices integral high-resolution OLED Display, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of reagent addition is readily controlled.
