Methods IOC, Bannwarth

CPC Microreactor

 		 Model: CPC CYTOS Lab System
Unit and Room: Org. Chemistry, 2nd floor, R. 323F
Responsible: Prof. W. Bannwarth, M. Sterk
Automated Microreactor System
 Further information:  
Short Description:

Cellular Process Chemistry (CPC) Microreactor
system based of an internal and external
modularity for the high flexibility by running
different chemical reactions.
Flow rates from 0.1 up to 20.0 ml/min.
Production of chemicals from gram to higher
kilo gram.

 Picture of the Equipment

CPC Microreactor
 
Available Experiments/Techniques:

Reaction optimization, lab scale, automated
system, large scale syntheses, variable
reactor sizes, chemically inert. Reaction time
up to 90 min (depending on flow rate).
Individual connecting principle minimizes the
dead volume in the system and provides the
reaction isothermal condition through the
whole system.

Special Equipment:

The external modularity provides a system configuration for a multi step synthesis.
Measurements on the equipment are currently done by:

Students after extensive training
Trained scientific service personal

Typical problems that may be solved with this instrument:

Small dimensions of microreactors allow for
the use of minimal amounts of reagent
under precisely controlled conditions.
Reaction conditions are screened rapidly
which allows a precise control of reaction
variables.
