Flow chemistry, sometimes referred to as plug flow

Flow chemistry, sometimes referred to as plug flow, microchemistry or continuous flow chemistry is the process of performing chemical reactions in a tube or pipe. Reactive components are pumped together at a mixing junction and flowed down a temperature controlled pipe or tube.

The major advantages of flow chemistry are faster reactions, cleaner products, safer reactions, quick reaction optimization, easy scale-up, and the integration of typically separate processes (such as synthesis, work-up and analysis).

Syrris is the world’s longest established provider of lab scale flow chemistry systems. These systems are called Asia and Africa and allow easy access to the benefits of flow chemistry.
