YMC Europe offers a range of microreactors for research and production, including the Keychem and Cytos.
With these product lines, the company said it is possible to effectively perform all the synthetic work from research laboratory to pilot plant scale.
A modular system for the first steps in the research laboratory to production scale, allows both beginners and experts to adopt new synthesis strategies.
For these initial experiments, the Keychem Basic system is said to be easy and fast to adopt.
The Keychem modules offer automated, software-controlled systems with data logging and a choice of reactors and accessories.
The Cytos 200 and Cytos 2000 series allow access to pilot and production scale processes.
The choice of reactor modules is dependant on the user's requirements, the reactions planned and the way the equipment will be used.
The liquid handling modules have to match the chosen reactor.
For liquid media, these range from analytical HPLC pumps up to high-pressure resistant precision syringe pumps.
With these precision syringe pumps it is possible, for example, to continuously pump liquid, in nanolitre quantities, against high pressures.
The modules of this system are also robust and stable under high-pressure conditions, including the use of viscous media.
Different mixer and dwell modules from micro-litre up to high-volume millilitre modules are available with different geometries.
By including Peltier technology, Keychem systems can be cooled and heated without the need for any external heating media.
YMC microreactors contribute to the concept of 'green chemistry', as they allow users to find synthesis and production procedures that save resources.
These can then be used in production process.
