R4 Reactor System

It's possible to start out with just an R4 Flow Reactor at first, using separate pumps.

The features offered by the R4 include.

  • 4 separately controllable temperature zones
  • Each zone can take a column or tube reactor
  • -70 to 250 oC  temperature range
  • Complete reaction visibility at all times
  • Excellent control of strong exotherms

Add an R2+ Pump Module

Sophisticated 2 channel pump control. 

  • Continuous monitoring for air bubbles in pump
  • Sample injection loop facility
  • Collection valve to switch from waste to collect
  • Valves to switch each channel from solvent to reagent
  • Stackable, so no increase in footprint, 35 cm x 28 cm (W x D)
     

This configuration is known as the  R Series System

Add extra Reagent Channels

Add one or two extra channels (up to maximum total of 4), enabling more complex reaction scenarios.

  • Use up to 4 separate reagents
  • Carry out multi- step reactions
  • Make partial additions to improve selectivity
  • Automate catch and release reactions
  • Online quenching
  • Aqueous workup
  • Catalysts column regeneration

 R Series with 4 pumps, fraction collector and embedded controller

Add an Autosampler

Load different reagents for each reaction cycle if required.

  • Up to 4 reagent loops can be fed, with volumes between 0.5 and 10ml per injection.
  • Autosampler can also be used as a fraction collector at the same time.
  • Automate generation of libraries
  • Screen reagents or catalysts.
