FlowSyn heats up to 260ºC
02/06/2008
Raising the reaction temperature achievable with the FlowSyn™ Continuous Flow Reactor has considerably widened the scope of reactions that can be performed. Reactions can now be carried out at up to 260ºC and pressures up to 1000psi (~70 Bar). High activation energy chemistries that might previously have required a catalyst or the use of a microwave reactor are now potential candidates for continuous flow synthesis, with its attendant benefits - better reproducibility and scalability and fewer problems with unstable intermediates or unexpected exotherms.
Mark Ladlow joins Uniqsis as Chief Scientific Officer

Mark was until recently head of the GSK Cambridge Technology Laboratory based within the University of Cambridge where, in recent years, he has collaborated closely with Professor Steven Ley in developing flow chemistry as an emerging new chemistry technology. Following a period as an independent consultant developing flow chemistry applications, he now joins Uniqsis as Chief Scientific Officer.
The first fully integrated continuous flow reactor is now available on the market

Uniqsis Ltd of Cambridge have “Accessible Flow Chemistry” as their maxim, and the new FlowSyn™ Continuous Flow Reactor has clearly been developed with this in mind. FlowSyn claims to be the first commercial system to fully integrate all the essential elements for continuous flow chemistry into a single, easy to use package.
Flow chemistry in micro-reactors has many advantages over batch processing – better reproducibility and scalability, improved yields and fewer problems with unstable intermediates or highly exothermic reactions.
New FlowSyn Continuous Flow Reactor will be launched on 4th October
04/10/2007
The first fully integrated continuous flow reactor which combines all essential elements in a single, easy to use package will be launched in the UK on 4th October 2007 at the 1st Uniqsis Flow Chemistry Symposium.
The conference is being established as a discussion forum between new and existing users of flow technology with workshops led by some of the most eminent pioneers in the field. Invited is a selected audience of academic and industry customers as well as the industry press.
