Flow chemistry engineering firm Vapourtec has launched the easy-Photochem, a comprehensive system that aims to bring photochemistry to the bench chemist.
In developing the easy-Photochem, Vapourtec’s aim is to bring photochemistry out of the hands of dedicated expert users and make the technique easily and safely available for general bench chemists.
Key features of the easy-Photochem include a high intensity medium pressure mercury lamp that can be controlled between 75 and 150 watts and a range of band-pass and long-pass filters that allow a desired range of wavelengths to be selected.
In addition, narrow-band LED light sources are available for specific wavelengths in the range 365 nm to 500 nm.
It also delivers reaction temperature control between -5°C and 80°C, easily changed reactors, rugged self-priming pumps capable of metering gases, reaction pressures up to 10 bar and a touch-panel interface.
