The H-Cube® Pro Hastelloy hydrogenation flow reactor is designed to expand the available reaction space of its renowned stainless steel counterpart, the H-Cube® Pro.
All wetted parts are constructed from Hastelloy C, offering enchanced chemical resistance. With the H-Cube® Pro Hastelloy, handling corrosive reagents becomes simple and efficient.
How does it work?
- The system generates hydrogen through the electrolysis of water.
- The microHPLC pump delivers pure solvent into the system, mixing it with hydrogen via a mixing valve.
- The gas-liquid mixture moves into the reaction zone, where the system controls to the user-defined reaction conditions (pressure, temperature, and flow rate).
- Once the system achieves the desired parameters and stabilizes the reaction zone, it switches the feed from solvent to the reactant solution.
- The reaction mixture flows through a CatCart® (a pre-packed column containing solid catalyst), where the reaction occurs.
- The product exits the CatCart®, while the catalyst remains inside.
- The system collects the product in the collection vial.
- The system can perform reactions ranging from milligrams to grams.
Features
- Hastelloy C pump head
- Hastelloy C tubing
