  • Summary: MF-V6 small-scale glass continuous flow reactors have integrated pre-heat & heat exchange giving optimal thermal control for challenging flow chemistry applications. V6 flow reactor system (flow reactor used in combination with pumps, heat exchangers, temperature control and pressure regulation) that is designed to readily access extreme temperatures (-25 °C to 200 °C), reaction times and pressure conditions (up to 20 bar). V6 enables previously ‘forbidden’ transformations to be executed within a conventional laboratory, and is ideal for up-scaling with no change in mixing efficiency.

MF-V6 is a glass Flow Reactor for process development & small-scale production.  With integrated heat exchange, V6 is suitable for performing challenging chemistries & processing conditions. Fabricated from borosilicate glass, the Flow Reactor modules have integrated heat exchange layers that allows thermal regulation of feeds & mixing, enabling control of heat of reaction!

MF-V6 is a pilot flow reactor system (flow reactor used in combination with pumps, heat exchangers, temperature control and pressure regulation) that is designed to readily access extreme temperatures (-25 °C to 200 °C), reaction times and pressure conditions (up to 20 bar). KiloFlow enables previously ‘forbidden’ transformations to be executed within a conventional laboratory, and is ideal for up-scaling with no change in mixing efficiency.

The MF-V6 glass continuous flow reactors is a high-throughput glass microreactor processed from high borosilicate float glass. The four-layer structure design includes the heat exchanger in the reactor to reduce the space occupancy rate. The design of the structure ensures the maximization of mixing efficiency, so that the reaction phase forms multiple vortex staggered states in the reaction phase, and ensures that the reaction phase is fully mixed and reacted in the flow channel.

The MF-V6 series glass microchannel reactor is compatible with all reagents except hot concentrated alkali, molten alkali metal, hot concentrated H3PO4, HF, and strong corrosive agents. It can operate stably for a long time. The excellent high light transmittance can achieve short wavelength Photocatalytic reaction. Compared with the traditional tubular catalysis, the microreactor can also increase the catalysis conditions and promote the formation of reactants through the application of the heat exchange layer.

MF-V6 (9ml) is the maximum liquid holding capacity of the monolithic continuous flow microreactor, thereby prolonging the reaction residence time of the microchannel reactor. Under the conditions of the same flow rate, the larger the liquid holding capacity of the micro-channel reactor, the longer the residence time of the reaction phase in the microreactor, and the more ideal the reaction effect can be achieved for some reactions that require reaction time. This product can also be customized for other models with different specifications of liquid holding capacity, 9ml is the maximum processing depth. The annual throughput can reach 70-80T/year, which can also meet the needs of small-scale experiments and production.
