System Solution: FlowPlate® Lab-1

System Solution: FlowPlate® Lab Typical reactions : organometallic reactions (e.g. Grignard reaction, lithiation) Based on our experiences with a large number of different customer projects over many years we have come up with several reactor set-ups combining specific reactors from our portfolio with suitable pumps and other peripherals. These equipment combinations have already proven their usefulness in the field for certain types of reactions and are optimized for customer benefit. For organometallic reaction applications the challenges lie in very high reaction enthalpies, mass transport limitations and multi-step processes. Example: Organomagnesium based flash chemistry CH2ICl + iPrMgCl . LiCl in THF Operating conditions:  Throughput: Cl Reference: T. von Keutz, D. Cantillo, C.
