Available as an accessory for the fReactor Classic or fReactor MAXI kits, we have a choice of back pressure regulator kits to suit your requirements.
As you can see from the images provided, these have an arrow on the top of it (showing which way the fluid flow should be) and come with tube fittings, so you connect the tubing from the last fReactor module into this, thus making the other side the new exit.
Basically, this whole device allows pressure to build up in the fReactor system before it – and it will only let liquid through once the desired pressure has been reached.

The PRV assembly uses a similar (higher pressure) BPR cartridge to those available in our accessories kits, but instead of connecting it so that the fluid flows through it, it is supplied with a t-piece so that the fluid flows past it, and it releases if there is an over-pressurisation within the system.
As an alternative to the Viton O-rings supplied as part of our fReactor Classic Kit, we offer a pack of 10 FFKM O-rings.
These o-rings will allow you to work to a significantly higher temperature range with ratings up to approximately 325°C and offer much increased chemical resistance.
We recommend keeping spares for your essential fReactor maintenance and ongoing use. The handy fReactor Classic Spares Kit packs contain everything you need to keep you flowing!
With o-rings, tubing, stirrers, and more, it contains all the useful items you’ll need for your ongoing Flow Chemistry requirements.
If you need anything else, though, or a larger quantity of supplies, please do contact us to discuss your requirements.

Perfect for use with the fReactor flow chemistry platform, this Hanna Instruments waterproof thermometer uses a powerful microprocessor to linearize the response of the thermocouple in order to achieve high accuracy and resolution.
These instruments can read with a resolution of 0.1 in the -149.9 to 999.9°C and -24.9 to 999.9°F ranges. These meters are equipped with a HOLD function that freezes the current reading on the LCD. A °C/°F button will change between the Celsius and Fahrenheit ranges, an important feature where measurements are necessary in degrees Celsius as well as Fahrenheit.
Heating and mixing with fReactor are provided by a standard magnetic hotplate stirrer, and fluidic pumps (e.g., HPLC, syringe, peristaltic, gear) are used to drive the reagents around the modules.
We offer a handy Thermocouple Set for precise temperature control of fReactor with a stainless steel thermocouple and all necessary fittings/connectors.
The fReactor turns out to be a very capable miniature batch hydrogenator – allowing pressure to be easily charged using a syringe, having excellent mixing (giving good gas-to-liquid transfer) – all working together to allow rapid and efficient reactions.
Operating at 7 bar immediately gives you 7 times the rate that you would see with a balloon-on-a-bottle setup, and the enhanced mixing further increases the rate – allowing your hydrogenations to take place in a fraction of the time you might otherwise be waiting.
Having 5 fReactor modules set up in batch mode together allows you to screen for conditions or by starting off with the same reactants, following the kinetics by periodically stopping one reactor after another. You can even screen under batch conditions and then move to flow!
