Benefits

Powerful advantages

Each reactor with its own set of conditions - individually controlled tank reactors (reactor volumes 100, 240, 1’000 mL total volume) with precise, continuous feeds:

  • Up to 12 / 24 syntheses per run on an AUTOPLANT (incl reaction prep, reaction execution, work-up, analysis), up to 6 per run on a semi-automated MULTIPLANT.
  • Easily exchangeable stirrer designs (anchor, twisted blade, gas entrainment stirrers…).
  • Powerful mixing for viscosities up to 80 Pa.s at 300 rpm and 30 Pa.s at 900 rpm with an anchor stirrer.
  • Flexible and precise continuous feeds.
  • Multiple continuous liquid, liquefied gas and / or gas feeds per reactor and additional unlimited overhead access.
  • Internal and / or jacket temperature control, reflux.
  • Pressure up to 100 bar with corresponding safety installations.
  • Parallel high-performance calorimetry and viscosity data.
  • PAT interfaces to various in-situ probes, for example: pH, UV-VIS, IR, Raman, PSD, calorimetry.
  • Measurement of gas consumption.
  • Dean Stark water trap.
  • Distillation bridge.
  • Vacuum for different purposes: inertization, crystallization, ...
  • Extraction, filtration, evaporation, crystallization, distillation.
  • Ventilated hood for safety and conditioned (sensitive chemicals, low-temperature) operation.
  • AUTOSUITE SOFTWARE - drag & drop experimentation with easy interface (e.g. python custom device) to e.g. LIMS, ELN, data analysis, AI / ML closed loop.
  • Optional integrated online benchtop NMR with available operating frequency ranges of e.g. 80 / 90 MHz such as Bruker Fourier Rxn Lite, Magritek Spinsolve, incl. NMR device, sample injection port, software and hardware integration, H / F / C / P / Si / B, 1D and 2D spectra, online data acquisition via flow cell or offline via standard 5 mm sample tubes, permanent magnet - no liquid nitrogen or helium required, 2 Gauss line inside NMR device housing.
