Pre-configured System
Asia Flow Electrochemistry System: The Scalable Continuous Flow Chemistry Solution
For easy access to flow electrochemical synthesis, enabling selectivity and transformations that are impossible to achieve through other chemical engineering techniques.
The Asia Flux module and cell can accommodate a wide range of electrodes, assembled without the need for tools. Users can operate in either constant current (Galvanostatic) mode or constant voltage (Potentiostatic) mode to achieve reduction and oxidation.
The easy-to-use and affordable systems contain all essential flow system parts. All Asia flow reactor systems are future-proof and can be seamlessly upgraded with additional features and modules as the user experience with flow electrochemistry grows and/or needs change.
All Asia systems are available as either regular or advanced configurations to suit different requirements and budgets, and all systems include the Asia Syringe Pump as a common module.
