Automated Flow Chemistry from Concept to Collection
Feb 23 2007
AFRICA has become established as a highly efficient, automated flow system for reaction optimisation in both medicinal and process chemistry. Allowing a series of controlled reactions to be carried out under laminar flow, AFRICA improves reaction time, experimental optimisation, and reproducibility. With the introduction of the new reagent injection module, hundreds of compounds, separated from each other by solvent, can be injected into the flow reactor under pressure. By injecting multiple reactions into the flowing stream in series, several reactions are in the system at any one time, significantly increasing experimental throughput.
The new product collection module and integrated fraction collector allow individual reactions to be automatically collected in tubes or vials and unwanted solvent to be diverted to waste. With the ability to choose point of collection i.e. the heart of the reaction for maximum concentration or purity, or the diffusion/dispersion areas for maximum recovery, these new modules can significantly aid experimental efficiency and minimise waste or loss of product.
The reagent injection and product collection modules are the most recent additions to the Syrris portfolio of microreactor products and vastly improve the operational efficiency and expand the number of flow applications of AFRICA.
