At the turn of the 21st Century the use of flow reactors, and in particular micro reactors, began to emerge as a synthetic tool for the modern chemist, challenging the Centuries old technique of stirred batch vessels. With significant advantages demonstrated by researchers, it is imperative that this new technique be taught to students in order to increase awareness of the technology as they progress from an academic environment on to research and industrial positions.

With this in mind, it is the aim of this teaching method to provide basic training and experience in the use of continuous flow reactors for the optimisation of several common synthetic organic reactions using the Labtrix® Start micro reactor development apparatus; employing reaction...
