Happy #Holi! 🌈 🎨

A day bursting with colour feels like the perfect excuse to share this brilliant infographic from @compoundchem.com on the chemistry behind #paintpigments.

From cobalt blues to chromium greens, it all comes down to how compounds interact with light.

This fascinating study, by Steve Marsden et al, explores utilising Asynt’s fReactor and PhotoFlow module as a photochemical continuous stirred tank reactor, showing how reactor design and light integration can unlock efficient gas–liquid transformations in Flow.

Seeing inside your reaction as it happens changes everything.

The FlowUV inline UV-Vis spectrophotometer, from Asynt, gives chemists real time visibility without interrupting the process.

Curious about inline spectroscopy?

When the going gets tough, the tough get flowing!

When reaction performance depends on heat transfer, residence time & consistent reaction environments, simple stirring is not always enough. That’s where Asynt’s glass static mixer reactors come into their own.

Thinking Flow Chemistry has to mean complicated and expensive setups? Think again.

Tube-in-Plate reactors offer a refreshingly simple approach to continuous flow.
