Conclusion
The octuple reactor is a parallelized system that can be used for various reactions with gases under high pressure at volumes ranging from 1.5 to 2 ml.
Supporting Evidence
- The system allows for simultaneous reactions at varying pressures, increasing productivity.
- Miniaturization leads to reduced substance quantity required and lower experimental costs.
- The reactor can operate under high pressure and temperature conditions, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Takeaway
This study describes a special reactor that can run many chemical reactions at the same time, making it faster and easier to find new materials.
Methodology
The reactor system is based on an arrangement of up to three reactor arrays, each with eight individual autoclaves, allowing for individual magnetic stirring and pressure control.
Limitations
The compact reaction systems often need to be adapted to conventional systems for future upscaling.
