Uniqsis are seeing an increase in interest from scientists wanting to invest in a flow chemistry system matched to their applications needs.

Technical Director, Dr Mark Ladlow said "Whilst many customers like the 'all-in-one-box' automation of our flagship FlowSyn flow reactor series, an increasing number are expressing an appreciation for the modularity of our entry-level FlowLab Plus systems".

FlowLab Plus is a versatile flow chemistry system designed around the Uniqsis Binary Pump dual channel reagent delivery system. The system is configured to run both manual and automated flow chemistry reactions. The versatile system may be configured with any combination of up to 4 individual reactor modules to exactly match your application needs.

A wide variety of configurations are possible with the FlowLab Plus systems. By selecting from the HotCoil and HotChip heated reactor modules, and the Polar Bear Plus Flow or Polar Bear Plus GSM cryogenic modules, an operating range from -40°C to 300°C is possible.

Adding the powerful FlowControl II software to the FlowLab Plus permits integration with a fraction collector, allows for sophisticated reaction automation (such as automated sample loop filling) and offers the ability to program multiple experiments. Integration with the Flow-UV inline UV-vis spectrophotometer allows you to monitor steady state conditions in real time.

The computer, pumps and modules in a FlowLab Plus are connected over a LAN using an Ethernet hub. In this way, the system can be controlled remotely by Wi-Fi, allowing the control computer to be conveniently operated outside your fumehood.

FlowSyn Continuous Flow Reactor

Uniqsis Ltd

FlowSyn - Making Flow Chemistry Simple FlowSyn is a fully integrated continuous flow reactor with everything you need to start doing flow chemistry including reaction optimization, synthesis and scale up. To provide maximum flexibility, a wide range of mixer and reactor options are available as well as additional modules for performing multiple experiments, or sub-ambient chemistry. • Ability to perform continuous flow chemistry under microwave-like conditions (up to 260oC). • Perform sub-ambient continuous flow chemistry using the 'Cold Coil'. • Run up to 10 automated sequential experiments with the 'Automated Experiment Package'.A pair of high pressure pumps are used to deliver reagent solutions from either stock bottles or sample injection loops through a 'T'-mixer into the electrically heated flow reactors. Reactions can be heated to 260?C and 150?C in the coil and column reactor modules respectively. Back pressure regulators of up to 1000 psi are used to pressurise the system and thus perform superheating of solvents, allowing the chemist to access'microwave like' conditions with no limitation on scale. FlowSyn is very easy to use with a high resolution user interface. The user is guided through the process for setting up a flow chemistry reaction by inputting parameters for reagent volumes, temperatures and reaction times. The user can choose to collect all of the reaction plug, or only the 'steady state' part. FlowSyn will then equilibrate and run the reaction, and finally flush the system through with solvent. Throughout FlowSyn will monitor the pressure of the system, and shut down if a problem occurs allowing FlowSyn to be safely run unattended.
