Key Features

  • Thin Film Reaction

    Elevate your chemistry. Our thin-film reaction technology (0.4 mm-3 mm) delivers exceptional performance. Precision rotation, including dynamic mixing waves, promotes higher yields, better selectivity, and dramatically reduced reaction times versus standard lab glassware.

    Reproducibility and improved performances are demonstrated below with the esterification of isoamyl alcohol with acetic acid. The reaction was conducted in multi-run in a short reaction time (10min) with automatic cleanup in-between runs. Constant yield of 95.3% with very little variation was obtained (±1.3%). Reaction in thin film demonstrated superior yield (+18%) in comparison to conventional glassware method.

    Improved esterification in thin film

  • Fast & Efficient Heating System

    Optimize your reactions with intelligent heating. Our system's efficient radiative heating and IR monitoring offer responsive temperature control. Low thermal inertia means no overshoots and instant cooling for ultimate process precision.

    Comparative heating and cooling curves of 10mL water in a Cheminizer reaction vessel (blue) and in a round bottom flask with heating bath and magnetic stirring (orange) are shown below:

  • Pressure & Vacuum Control

    Gain total control over your reactions. Our closed, pressure-monitored vessel enables chemistry beyond the boiling point and effortless removal of all solvents, including high-boiling point solvent such as DMF.

  • High Level of Safety

    Push the boundaries of your chemistry with confidence. Our module is engineered for extreme durability, withstanding high temperatures and pressures up to 6 bar. It features proactive exotherm detection and intelligent countermeasures to prevent runaway reactions. For ultimate protection, a failsafe automatic stop engages if any reaction parameter moves outside safe operating thresholds.

Future Innovation

  • Photochemical Reactor

    To take advantage of the thin film and facilitate and to unlock new possibilities in synthesis.

  • Upscaling

    ChemiREAC's early development proved its remarkable ability to seamlessly scale thin-film reactions, achieving efficient upscaling from micro-liter volumes (100 µL) all the way to 250 mL. Building on this success, Synlock is working on the next ChemiREAC1000 (for 100 mL-1000 mL reaction media), set to supercharge your production capacity and drive larger-scale chemical transformations.

  • Coating

    Coating of inner wall of the reaction vessel with various solid supported reagent and catalyst will be soon available.
