Technology
Our team has long-standing collaborations with both, academic and industrial institutions on a broad range of research programs. Our major interests pursue in these topics:
- Low volume production of specialities and transformation of laboratory techniques to industrial scale
- Own technology research on micro-reactor technology
- Transformations of batch processes to continual mode
Equipment
The laboratory is equipped with all standard synthetic devices, as well as with process reactors capable of handling small scale production (up to thousands kg per year) and technology up scaling of laboratory processes.
Key equipment:
- 30l glass reactor
- 30l stainless steel reactor
- 30l hallar lined stainless steel reactor
- 5l circulation vacuum evaporator
- 0.1l Meissen porcelain tea cup
Excellent mass- and heat-transfer properties of microreactors give this technology many advantages over batchwise chemistry. We believe that microreactor technology or flowchemistry is an upcoming technology in the fine-chemistry and pharmaceutical industry. It also enlarges technological capabilities for low volume production.
Our laboratory is equipped with all the basic devices for such a work and we are currently working intensely to enlarge our potential in this branch.
Our analytical service is arranged in cooperation with the Department of Analytical Chemistry and the Department of Organic Chemistry at Palacky University.
Key equipment:
- Various HPLCs
- MS
- NMR
- X-Ray
If you feel that you need the final proof that we're the bee's knees, worry no longer: Yes, we also have those gorgeous snow-white lab coats. Okay, they used to be snow-white, but at least there's one that's still unharmed by fire! Pretty good for long-time chemists, isn't it?
