Argonne National Lab 16-reactors Flowrence® XR
Avantium’s 16-reactor fixed bed Flowrence® XR unit was used to study the deposition of 23 different metallic precursors for propyne dimerization to hexadienes in a high-throughput data-driven campaign. A combination of high throughput experiments with computational and machine learning approaches were imperative to finding optimized reaction conditions.

How microfluidic chips enable precise and accurate control of gas and liquid flows in parallel reactors One of the challenges in high-throughput catalysis is the distribution of gas and liquid flows to multiple reactors, while ensuring uniform and stable flow rates...
High-throughput catalyst testing in our laboratories tailored for any R&D stage
In our laboratories in Amsterdam, we offer more than 800 reactors dedicated to catalyst testing. These reactors include a variety of high-throughput, multi-parallel catalyst testing platforms, in both fixed-bed and batch, ensuring high-quality, industrially scalable...
Reactor-to-reactor repeatability
An important quality criteria in parallelized reactors systems is reactor-to-reactor repeatability. A good repeatability is achieved when reactors loaded with the same catalyst system yield the same results. This means that the test results and the differences (in...
