Product Overview
This advanced benchtop continuous flow microreactor system represents a paradigm shift in laboratory-scale chemical synthesis and process engineering. By integrating dual high-precision plate-type microreactors with a robust tubular microreactor in a serialized configuration, the equipment delivers unprecedented control over residence times, mixing kinetics, and thermal profiles. Engineered specifically for research institutions, pharmaceutical laboratories, and specialty chemical developers, this unit replaces inefficient, variable batch processes with an automated, highly reproducible continuous flow environment.
Designed to excel under demanding laboratory and pilot-scale workflows, the system utilizes premium fluoropolymer and borosilicate glass construction to handle corrosive reagents with absolute integrity. B2B procurement teams can rely on this system to significantly accelerate process development cycles, reduce reagent consumption, and provide a direct, scalable pathway from benchtop discovery to full-scale industrial production.
Key Features
- Hybrid Dual-Plate and Tubular Reactor Topology: The system features a serialized integration of two three-layer monolithic glass plate-type microreactors and one secondary tubular microreactor. This unique hybrid architecture provides a multi-stage reaction pathway, allowing for sequential reagent additions, prolonged residence times, and complex multi-step syntheses in a single, uninterrupted pass.
- Advanced Digital Touchscreen Automation: Operating via an integrated digital PLC system, the unit features a highly responsive LCD touchscreen interface that controls the entire reaction envelope. Operators can program up to 30 distinct process steps, dynamically adjust peristaltic pump feed rates, and set automatic safety interlocks based on real-time sensory feedback.
- High-Performance Thermofluid Dynamics: The plate-type microreactors are engineered with a specialized S-shaped heat exchange channel containing approximately 450 external 3mm cylindrical support pillars. With a thin 1mm glass barrier separating the reaction channel and the thermofluid chamber, this design achieves a double-sided heat exchange area of 400 cm², providing a thermal transfer coefficient over 200 times greater than traditional 500mL batch flasks.
- Precision Multi-Port Reagent Injection: Featuring a standard 4-inlet and 2-outlet configuration per plate-type reaction chip, the system allows for the simultaneous introduction of multiple reactant streams, quenching agents, or catalytic precursors. This modular routing capability supports sophisticated co-solvent processes and immediate inline product recovery.
- Chemically Inert Fluidic Pathways: All wet components in the system are manufactured from high-purity PTFE, PFA, and high-borosilicate glass. This ensures complete chemical resistance against aggressive acids, bases, and organic solvents, eliminating the risk of trace contamination or material degradation during sensitive pharmaceutical syntheses.
- Real-Time Thermocouple and Pressure Monitoring: Equipped with three high-accuracy thermocouple probes and an inline PTFE-shielded pressure sensor, the system provides continuous monitoring of internal thermodynamic states. The digital control unit automatically triggers sound and light alarms if user-defined temperature or pressure thresholds are exceeded.
- Modular Scalability and High-Pressure Upgrades: The standard configuration operates reliably at pressures up to 0.3 MPa, but the system is easily upgradable with 316L stainless steel connections and reinforced components. This allows the unit to sustain high-pressure operations up to 3.0 MPa, facilitating supercritical solvent extractions and gas-liquid multi-phase reactions.
