Microreactors for laboratory and production

In a world seeking ever more efficient and safer methods for laboratory and production, microreactors offer groundbreaking approaches.

In contrast to batch processes, flow chemistry offers greater safety, efficiency, scalability, sustainability and reproducibility through precise control of key process parameters such as temperature, pressure and flow rate. Because reactions take place in small volumes, the risk of hazardous incidents (e.g., explosions) is reduced.

In addition, flow processes can be easily scaled by parallelizing reactors without the need for complex process adjustments. This is done either by "numbering up", i.e. multiplying identical reactor modules, or by "scaling up", i.e. using larger reactors with adapted flow rates.

From initial lab experiments to production, process transfer has never been easier or more efficient. Our modular system adapts to your individual needs.

 

The ultimate discipline: microreactor automation

The combination of our laboratory automation systems with the modular microreaction system (MMRS) or the high performance reactors and heat exchangers (Miprowa) from Ehrfeld Mikrotechnik really brings out the advantages of microreactors:

  • Flexibility & modularity: the modular design allows adaptation to different chemical reactions (e.g. synthesis, Polymerisationextraction)
  • Efficiency: microreactors are faster and more efficient than batch processes
  • Safety: systems can be monitored and controlled in real time, often remotely
  • Scalability: processes easily scale to larger production systems
  • Faster time-to-market: online analytics (PAT) and optimization algorithms
