Continuous Flow Chemistry enables researchers to both evaluate and produce synthetic intermediates and products that would otherwise be inaccessible using conventional batch techniques. The scale that reactions are performed on is key to harnessing the advantages of this technology which stem from the rapid mixing and efficient thermal transfer at the µm to mm scale.

Working closely together with the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industry Chemtrix BV has developed a complete, easy to scale product portfolio for continuous processing from lab to industrial production scale. Our laboratory systems (Labtrix® and KiloFlow®) are based on glass reactors, selected due to chemical compatibility, familiarity to the synthetic chemist and optical transparency. Our system for industrial scale continuous manufacturing, Plantrix®, is based on 3M™ Silicon Carbide reactors selected for their superior chemical flexibility and high corrosion resistance.
