Laboratory & Research Equipment
Lab & process instruments for chemistry research
Through contact with research companies and laboratory equipment suppliers in the Cambridge area, we have designed customised unique equipment as well as designs for mass production. Our designs are characterised by their innovative features, ease of use and robustness in harsh environments. Below is some of our portfolio of designs.
Instruments for flow and batch chemistry — multi-position photoreactors, continuous photochemistry systems, high-pressure reagent pumps, reactor heaters, and inline UV/VIS analysis, built for reproducible scale-up.
Core Capabilities
Through contact with research companies and laboratory equipment suppliers in the Cambridge area, we have designed customised unique equipment as well as designs for mass production. Our designs are characterised by their innovative features, ease of use and robustness in harsh environments. Below is some of our portfolio of designs.
- Parallel batch photoreactors. — Our batch photoreactor runs 12 temperature-controlled, septum-sealed positions for rapid reaction optimisation and catalyst screening.
- Continuous photochemistry. — Our continuous-flow photoreactor turns a coil reactor into a high-power continuous photoflow platform.
- High-pressure reagent delivery. — Our dual-channel flow-chemistry pump provides high-pressure reagent delivery with integrated back-pressure regulation.
- Elevated-temperature flow heating. — Our heated coil reactor heats coil reactors from ambient to 260 °C (300 °C configuration available) for continuous flow chemistry.
- Inline UV/VIS analytics. — A fibre-coupled spectrometer monitors reactions in real time across flow and batch workflows.
- 12 — Parallel reactor positions
- 260 °C — Standard flow-heating range
How it works
Application & method definition
We start from the chemistry: whether the work is batch or continuous flow, and what temperature, throughput and control it demands — shaping instruments around real method needs rather than a generic chassis.
Instrument build
We build the hardware to match: a multi-position batch photoreactor for parallel screening, a dual-channel high-pressure reagent pump, and a heated coil reactor for elevated-temperature flow reactions.
Reproducibility & scale translation
We engineer for repeatable results and clean scale-up — temperature-controlled platforms plus inline UV/VIS monitoring via our Spectrometer — so optimisation on the bench translates reliably to larger runs.
