Flow reactor

PLANOPTIK develops and manufactures microstructured mixers and flow reactors made of glass, quartz, and glass-silicon combinations. These materials are well suited for microfluidic applications due to their chemical inertness, transparency, and thermal stability, enabling precise process control and easy cleaning. Their resistance to aggressive media makes PLAN­OPTIK’s flow reactors ideally suited for chemical and pharma­ceutical synthesis.

Starter sets

PLANOPTIK’s Flow Chemistry Starter Sets are designed to introduce trainees to flow chemistry applications and support those already working in the field. The Starter Sets are developed for laboratory-scale syn­theses and for industrial production. They enable a straightforward transfer from batch processes to conti­nuous processes using standard laboratory equipment.
