The FlowIR™ system revolutionizes flow chemistry by providing chemists with real-time visibility into the precise chemical composition of their continuous flow reactor's output. It offers comprehensive structural information across a wide range of functional groups and chemistry, enhancing understanding and optimization of reactions.
With its compact design, the FlowIR™ system can be conveniently placed anywhere, making efficient use of limited space. The interchangeable FlowIR™ Sensors allow for quick and easy swapping of sensor types to meet specific application requirements. Unlike other systems, this user-friendly solution does not require liquid nitrogen for detector cooling or instrument purge, simplifying its operation for synthetic chemists while maintaining the high performance expected from ReactIR™ technology.
The FlowIR™ system brings numerous benefits to flow chemistry, including:
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:
