Nanosight users meeting

The FlowSyn Continuous Flow Reactor from Uniqsis (Cambridge, UK) now gives chemists the freedom to choose the FlowSyn system with the appropriate flow path material best suited to their particular chemistry. Flow chemistry in micro-reactors has many advantages over batch processing – better reproducibility and scalability, improved yields and fewer problems with unstable intermediates or exothermic reactions – and the user can now choose a flow path a configuration that is most chemically
compatible with the type of chemistry to be performed. A limitation of existing flow reactors is attributable to the use of PEEK components in the flow path. This material is an excellent engineering polymer but has limited compatibility with concentrated mineral and organic acids and very strong organic bases)
whereas Uniqsis fit specially modified high pressure pumps that do not contain PEEK.
