Modular coil reactor heaters can be thought of as the flow chemistry equivalent of the magnetic stirrer hotplate. With the correct coil reactor it provides precise heating over the full length of the flow reactors volume, through which your homogeneous reactants are pumped.
Professor Mathias O. Senge’s research group at Trinity College Dublin focuses on the synthesis and application of porphyrins, an important class of macrocyclic compounds widely used across biomedical, materials and photochemical sciences.
Chemists from the University of Liverpool tackle the challenges of synthesizing porphyrin derivatives.
Flow chemistry and photochemistry are both being increasingly utilised in synthetic chemistry. Flow chemistry allows for safer, more controllable processing and easier scale-up. Photochemistry has opened up novel routes that can be cleaner and more energy-efficient than standard synthesis.
Continuous flow chemistry modules come in a wide range of designs and geometries, with a system often requiring multiple units. By using modular reactors, you can adapt and add to your flow system as your research progresses, allowing you to introduce flow chemistry, mixing for heterogeneous reagents, heating, cooling, and more.
Combining photochemistry with flow chemistry is the natural progression from the growth of these two fields in recent years. Doing this enables safer, more efficient, and scalable processes.
