Chemical synthesis heavily relies on hydrogenation, however, the use of hydrogen poses significant risks in tha laboratory. The H-Cube® series instruments have effectively addressed hazards associated with this process, by employing on-demand hydrogen generation and handling pyrophoric catalysts in sealed catalyst cartridges (CatCarts®). This innovative technology of advanced hydrogenation has gained widespread adoption among the key researchers of various industries such as pharmaceuticals, flavour and fragrance, fine chemicals, agrochemicals, as well as in academic research groups.
Features of the H-Cube® Pro
Hydrogenation without cylinders: The H-Cube® Pro has two electrolytic cells for the in situ generation of up to 60 NmL/min of hydrogen gas (up to 100 bar)
Adjustable hydrogen amount: Users can control the amount of hydrogen gas to be used in a chemical reaction, making the implementation of selective transformations easier and more effective.
No catalyst filtration: 30 mm or 70 mm CatCarts® can be used with the system, eliminating the need of catalyst filtration during work-up
Active cooling system: The H-Cube® Pro can cool reaction mixtrues down to 10 °C
Extended heating capability: Reactions can be performed up to 150 °C with the H-Cube® Pro
User-friendly software: Monitoring and recording real-time parameters of each reaction, extra functions for advanced hydrogenation
System expansion options: The capabilities of the H-Cube® Pro can be extended with the use of other modules, like the Gas Module for reactions with other gases than hydrogen, the Phoenix Flow Reactor module to perform hydrogenation reactions up to 450 °C
