Uniqsis has launched Flowsyn Maxi, an instrument that allows users to safely perform larger-scale flow reactions, at up to 100ml/min between -90C and 260C, and at pressures up to 1,400 psi.
One of the major benefits of flow chemistry is seamless scale-up without re-optimisation.
However, output has previously been limited to hundreds of grams per day.
Now, Uniqsis reports that the Flowsyn Maxi is allowing users to produce many kilograms in a day by utilising high-flow-rate pumps and large-scale coil reactors up to 40ml, with temperature-controlled static mixers essential for some reactions.
The robust and versatile Flowsyn Maxi offers a choice of flowpath, including Teflon, stainless and Hastelloy - so pumping nitric acid, sulphuric acid, BuLi, and even concentrated HCl in the Hastelloy system, is possible.
For low-temperature exothermic chemistry, Flowsyn Maxi can be coupled with the Flowsyn Polar Bear.
This cooling module has no circulator fluid or messy insulated tubing.
Fast cooling rates allow the Polar Bear to reach -90C from room temperature in less than an hour.
