Flow reactor with on-demand hydrogen generation
The H-Cube® Mini Plus is a safe, powerful and affordable flow reactor with on-demand hydrogen generation that generates high-pressure hydrogen via water electrolysis. This enables chemists to perform catalytic hydrogenations from atmospheric pressure and room temperature to 100 bar and 100 °C in minutes.
Extend your chemical synthesis capabilities
If you’re exploring chemical syntheses beyond hydrogenation, we highly recommend our newest flow reactor, the H-Cube Advance. In addition to hydrogen, it supports experiments with 13 other gases through its built-in mass flow controller and external gas inlet.
Despite these advanced capabilities, the module is easy to operate thanks to its user-friendly interface, mo. Users can choose between hands-on operation or automated mode, which also features future AI capabilities.
Safety and convenience for hydrogenation
Hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions in chemical synthesis, yet the hazardous nature of hydrogen limits its use. he H-Cube® series overcomes these risks through in situ hydrogen generation and the safe handling of pyrophoric catalysts in sealed catalyst cartridges (CatCarts®). This innovative technology has been widely adopted by leading organizations in the pharmaceutical, flavor and fragrance, fine chemical, and agrochemical industries, as well as in academia.
As a versatile flow reactor, the hydrogen generation system of the H-Cube® Mini Plus can be easily turned off to allow non-hydrogenation reactions to be performed as well, such as C-C coupling reactions.
