The Propel system consists of modular hardware and software that when integrated together
creates a sophisticated segmented flow reactor solution for organic chemistry. By adopting segmented flow technology the Propel enables the pursuit of chemical reactions not easily pursued with typical traditional laboratory equipment. Propel has successfully performed reactions routinely run in a microwave, duplicating the extreme temperatures but allowing high pressures enabling the use of low boiling point and greener solvents such as methanol and ethanol.
With the Propel, exploration of reaction conditions for screening and optimization of small
volume reaction segments (<1 mL) enables more experiments while using less starting
material. The Propel’s optional online integration LC/MS for either Analysis or Prep Mode there’s no queuing up for analysis, every experiment is automatically diluted, injected, analyzed and with Propel’s automatic data reporting, each segment’s information is instantly made available for review.
Once optimized reactions can instantly scaled to 100s of grams using the same method as that used to make milligrams.
