Used in the chemical and petrochemical markets for decades, continuous flow chemistry production methodology has recently been gaining interest in pharmaceutical R&D. The desire to develop new and improved chemical processes that optimize the use of resources has facilitated a large amount of work in the development of continuous flow reactor technologies. The use of modern continuous flow reactor technologies can deliver a number of distinct advantages over a more traditional batch process. They allow for rapid analysis, optimization and scale-up of a chemical reaction. This ultimately leads to reduced cycle time, increased quality and increased yield.
