Swapping a resin loaded VBFR cartridge on the PS-30

Join Vapourtec’s resident Research Scientist Victoire as she demonstrates how to swap the resin-loaded VBFR cartridge on the PS-30 polite scale peptide synthesizer.

Preparing the reagents and solvents before a synthesis on the Vapourtec PS-30 peptide synthesizer

Join Vapourtec’s resident Research Scientist Victoire as she demonstrates the process of topping up reagents and solvents for the PS-30 pilot scale peptide synthesizer.

CSTR’s in flow

If you’ve not seen a cascade of flow CSTR’s in action before, take a look at this sped-up video from the Vapourtec lab.

Vapourtec’s PS-30 pilot scale peptide synthesizer

Vapourtec’s PS-30™ pilot scale peptide synthesizer is a game-changing solid phase peptide synthesizer (SPPS). It cuts drug development cycle time for significant quantities of target peptides from weeks to less than a day compared to traditional room-temperature batch methods.

Vapourtec HQ facilities

Vapourtec have recently expanded into larger facilities at the West Suffolk HQ site in response to continued growth in the specialised flow chemistry marketplace.

Vapourtec Ion introduction audio

Vapourtec has paid particular attention to the design of the Ion electrochemical reactor to ensure that the electrodes can be quickly and easily changed. Also to ensure the design is sufficiently robust to guarantee leak-free operation after every change of electrode. This video shows how quick and easy it is to change the electrode material. With audio.

Suzuki coupling using a packed-bed catalyst

Vapourtec R-Series has been used to achieve rapid reaction times and high conversion of a Suzuki coupling, using a commercially available supported palladium catalyst. With a reaction time of just 1 min 15 seconds, it was possible to achieve yields of over 80%, at greater than 95% purity following a simple chromatographic separation.

Selective hydrogenation using a slurry of Pd/C and hydrogen gas

At Vapourtec we have made use of our patented V-3 peristaltic pumps, and new pressure regulation mode to perform a continuous flow hydrogenation with a heterogeneous catalyst pumping as a slurry.

Vapourtec Flow Chemistry Nano-particle synthesis

In this video, Ryan demonstrates the synthesis of nanoparticles of a spin-crossover coordination polymer using a procedure developed by the group of Prof. Chick Wilson at the University of Bath.

Vapourtec Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution at High Temperature

In this video, Ryan uses the Vapourtec high temperature reactor to carry out a nucleophilic aromatic substitution.

Vapourtec Flow Chemistry Biphasic Reactions – Stevens Oxidation

In this video, Ryan performs the biphasic oxidation of an aldehyde using methanol and sodium hypochlorite in the Vapourtec reactor for rapid mixing.

Biphasic Vapourtec Static Mixing

Vapourtec’s static mixer tubular reactor for strong acid resistance and volumes up to 20ml is a demonstration of the reactor’s performance.
