Researchers are increasingly using continuous flow chemistry to develop new reactions and processes with increased specificity, yield and product quality. Optimization of this work is often challenging as offline analytical techniques, such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), cannot provide fast enough information to optimize the reaction in real time. A dedicated ReactIR Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) instrument for in-situ, real-time monitoring of continuous flow chemistry, enables researchers to save valuable time and materials when screening and optimizing their reactions.
Examples of ReactIR value in continuous flow chemistry include:
Small and Lightweight
The streamlined profile fits easily into physically constrained areas, meaning the instrument can be placed along the reaction sequence to monitor where needed.
No Liquid-Nitrogen Required
Infrared measurements can be made continually and unattended for as long as necessary to accommodate a synthesis.
iC IR 7 Software
Set up and monitoring trends is straightforward and intuitive. Data from the ReactIR 702L can be integrated with control systems to allow for proactive execution of the chemistry.
