Uniqsis: Affordable, high-performance flow photoreactor

Published: 28-Jun-2023

To set up the Borealis flow photoreactor - a coil reactor is inserted inside a Cold Coil reactor module and clamped in place using the external adjuster

The Borealis from Uniqsis brings flow photochemistry within the budget of almost any laboratory and sets a new benchmark for safe high yield photochemical flow synthesis.

Equipped with a safety interlock, to prevent accidental exposure to high intensity light, the LED lamps (available in a range of fixed wavelengths - 370, 410, 440, 460 and 520nm), are powered by a programable power supply that automatically detects the wavelength of the Borealis LED module and adjusts the output characteristics accordingly. A temperature sensor and safety cut-out are fitted to protect the LEDs from overheating. An Inert gas purge input is provided for low temperature use. 

To set up the Borealis flow photoreactor - a coil reactor is inserted inside a Cold Coil reactor module and clamped in place using the external adjuster. The Borealis LED lamp unit is then inserted into the coil reactor and connected to the programmable power supply. 

The coil reactor temperature is controlled by connecting the Cold Coil to a either a cold-water supply (for reactions close to room temperature), or preferably to a high precision thermoregulation system.
