Custom R&D Units

Bench-scale R&D systems engineered to your specific requirements

Not every R&D challenge can be addressed with standard equipment. Drawing on decades of experience across a wide range of chemical applications, we design and build custom R&D systems tailored to specific research needs.

From concept to R&D system

Our experience ranges from dedicated single-reactor units to fully automated parallel reactor and column systems. Combining application knowledge with expertise in high-throughput experimentation, automation and engineering, we turn your research objectives into a purpose-built R&D system.

Our way of working

We scope each custom system around your application, selecting proven technologies where possible and adapting or designing individual modules where needed. This combines design flexibility with proven performance, accuracy and reliability. Where feasible, systems are validated in our in-house laboratory before delivery.
