Syrris has introduced an easy to use flow chemistry experimental system, the FRX. With the FRX, reactions occur under laminar flow conditions, improving reaction speed, optimisation and control. The FRX flow chemistry systems are modular, allowing chemists to select the system that best meets individual needs and can be easily upgraded to meet changing demands.

The FRX is small in size and easily fits into the laboratory workplace.

Four modular FRX systems are offered by Syrris which have a range of functionalities and offer simple manual mode operation from the instrument’s front panel. The systems also allow both a solid and solution phase chemistry to be performed, expanding the range of reaction types that can be carried out in flow. Furthermore, high pressure capabilities permit the super heating of solvents and further increase reaction speed.

Modularity provides flexibility and easy integration of the units for increased reaction steps or more complex set ups when required. Wide flow range pump and reaction heating systems enable multiple reaction conditions to be run. Additionally analysis can be undertaken throughout the reaction by manually diverting a small quantity of the reaction mixture for testing and characterisation.

The FRX systems range from the basic 100, designed for initial flow chemistry work using a larger volume tube reactor and the 200, with a micro reactor and solid phase column – to the more complex FRX 300 and 400 for multi step chemistry and more complex set ups. Both the 300 and 400 incorporate an FRX Liquid – Liquid Extraction module (FLLEX). The FLLEX facilities compound purification and separation post reaction, which once separated can be passed for collection, analysis or further reaction. The FRX 400 also allows reaction cooling and can be used with solid supported chemistries.
