Flow device helps improve accuracy and reproducibility of chemical reactions Labmate Online

From liquid phase chemical reactions to laboratories seeking to improve accuracy, reproducibility and yield, Testa Analytical Solutions eK Developed chemistry flowmeter.

Accurately measuring the rate of addition of liquid reagents is an important consideration for many laboratories’ batch or flow chemistry reactions. When using peristaltic or piston pumps to add expensive chemicals or other liquids to the reaction, laboratories must ensure that the rate of addition is both accurate and constant as part of quality control. Without accurate flow measurement, too much or too little chemical can be injected into the reaction. Furthermore, if the rate of adding reagents is not constant, it can result in adverse results, costly reagent overuse, low final product yield, and even safety issues. In fact, an incorrect flow measurement can mean the difference between profit and lost revenue.

Designed to be fully compatible with most solvents, acids and bases, the Chemistry Flowmeter is a new standard for continuous, non-invasive measurement of the flow rate of pumps used to add liquid reagents to chemical reactions. determines. Compact in size, and easily operated via a USB connection, the Testa Analytical Chemistry Flowmeter uses a thermal flow sensor that is highly accurate, sensitive and high-resolution. Since the sensor is non-invasive, it can operate over a wide dynamic range and has been demonstrated to be the perfect real-time flow measurement tool for monitoring both batch and flow chemistry reagent addition pumps.

Chemistry Flowmeter utilizes a highly intuitive PC-based app for continuous recording, display and storage of measured flow rates. The current reagent addition flow rate is also displayed on the equipment’s integral high-resolution OLED display, ensuring that the accuracy and stability of reagent addition is easily controlled.
