Vapourtec has introduced a high-temperature packed bed reactor, designed to push the boundaries of flow chemistry by achieving temperatures up to 250°C. This innovation expands the capabilities of Vapourtec’s E-Series and R-Series flow chemistry systems, enabling new reaction types and greater experimental flexibility.

Key Features of Vapourtec’s High-Temperature Packed Bed Reactor

• Operates at temperatures up to 250°C
• Supports pressures up to 50 bar
• Comes with a 3.8 mL stainless steel reactor (Hastelloy® C276 optional)
• Compatible with Vapourtec's E-Series and R-Series systems
• Enables continuous flow hydrogenations, hydrations, and high-temperature click chemistry

This modular reactor is particularly well-suited for researchers working with catalysts, scavenger resins, or stoichiometric reagents in high-value applications such as petroleum processing and pharmaceutical synthesis.

Dr. Manuel Nuño of Vapourtec emphasized the reactor's potential: "This pioneering high temperature packed bed reactor increases the possibilities for novel chemistry routes as a result of its ability to substantially increase temperature capabilities."
