John Morris Scientific has introduced Thales Nano's continuous flow hydrogenation reactor, the H-Cube.
The H-Cube utilises water electrolysis to generate hydrogen, making hydrogenation safer and more efficient.
Reactions up to 100C and 100 bar can be used on milligram to multigram quantities.
The H-Cube works by passing the reaction mixture through a flow channel and combining with hydrogen gas.
The mixture is heated and pressurised up to 100C (212F) and 100 bar (1450lb/in2) before being passed through a packed catalyst cartridge (Catcart), where the reaction takes place.
The disposable cartridge improves safety and usability by reducing the need for further filtration, therefore avoiding subsequent hazards.
Reaction parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, and hydrogen production can be controlled and monitored with an easy-to-use touch-screen.
The H-Cube is compact, portable and designed to be used within a standard laboratory fume hood.
