Laboratory managers seeking to enhance experimental capabilities can now leverage Vapourtec’s high-temperature packed bed reactor, which boosts temperature limits up to 250°C. Designed for seamless integration with Vapourtec’s E-Series and R-Series, this reactor allows labs to perform a broader range of chemical reactions, improving productivity and efficiency.

Benefits for laboratory managers

  • Greater reaction flexibility – Supports hydrogenation, hydration, and click chemistry
  • High-pressure capabilities – Operates at up to 50 bar, suitable for demanding processes
  • Modular integration – Compatible with existing Vapourtec flow chemistry systems
  • Enhanced material compatibility – Available in stainless steel or Hastelloy® C276
  • Optimized for continuous processing – Reduces batch variability and increases throughput

By extending reaction conditions beyond traditional packed bed reactors, this system opens up new possibilities for petrochemical research, pharmaceutical synthesis, and industrial applications.

Dr. Manuel Nuño of Vapourtec highlights its impact: “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."
