SynLED Parallel Light Reactor

MerckSynLED Parallel Light Reactor

This newly designed photoreactor can achieve simple small-scale photocatalytic reaction screening, ensuring high consistency between the entire reaction and operation.

Photocatalysis and photoreactors help you improve research reproducibility

Chemists have long been troubled by the reproducibility of photocatalytic reactions. Whether it's different reaction settings or individual reactions under the same settings, they are often quite tricky. We can provide photoreactors for each stage of reaction development to overcome such challenges while ensuring high consistency between reactions and operations. We also offer a wide range of photocatalysts such as iridium, ruthenium, and acridine salts. These tools can liberate chemists to focus on achieving new breakthroughs.

MerckSynLED Parallel Light ReactorOperation guide:

Translate into EnglishMerckSynLED Parallel Light ReactorPlace it on a suitable magnetic stirrer, insert the instrument plug into the power supply~220V, the blue LED lights up, and the instrument starts working. After the reaction is complete, unplug the point source plug, the blue LED will turn off, and the instrument will stop working.

Notes:
At all stages of operation, maintenance, and instrumentation, the following basic safety measures must be followed. When using the instrument, it should be operated according to the instructions. Improper use can cause the instrument to work normally and even damage it. When using the instrument, blue light must be worn to protect the eyes and avoid direct eye contact with the LED.
A、 In order to avoid electric shock accidents, the input power cord of the instrument must be grounded. This instrument uses a three core grounding plug, which has a grounding pin. If the plug cannot be inserted into the socket, an electrician should install the correct socket to prevent the instrument from losing its grounding protection function.
B、 Pay attention to the use of power supply:
Before connecting the AC power supply, ensure that the voltage is equal to the voltage required by the instrument * (with a tolerance of ± 10%), and ensure that the rated load of the power socket is not less than the instrument requirements.
C、 Pay attention to using power cords:
This instrument usually uses the power cord that comes with it. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced and cannot be repaired. When replacing, a power cord of the same type and specification must be used instead. No objects are allowed to be placed on the power cord when using this instrument. Do not place the power cord in areas where personnel are walking.
D、 Pay attention to the placement of the instrument:
This instrument should be placed in a cool, ventilated, dry, and dust-proof location. For better heat dissipation, the instrument should be kept at an effective distance (N>30cm) from other objects in a ventilated area.
E、 Avoid strong acids and bases.

MerckSynLED Parallel Light ReactorMain applications:

Photocatalytic degradation of pollutants
Taking the degradation of methylene blue (MB) by P25 as an example, the process of photocatalytic degradation of pollutants is achieved.
Reaction conditions: The catalyst (P25) and pollutant (MB) are mixed evenly under the action of a magnetic suspension stirring device, and the reaction can be carried out under the illumination of an LED light source.
Sampling method: The liquid sampling needle draws 500 μ l of liquid sample from the PTFE pad on the reaction bottle cap, uses a microporous membrane, transfers the clear liquid to a pipette, dilutes it, and tests it (using UV visible spectroscopy or other measurement methods).

Photocatalytic decomposition of water for hydrogen production
Taking Pt/P25 photocatalytic hydrogen production in methanol aqueous solution as an example, the process of photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is achieved.
Reaction conditions: The catalyst (Pt/P25) and methanol aqueous solution are mixed uniformly under the action of a magnetic suspension stirring device, and the reaction can be carried out under the illumination of an LED light source.
Catalyst dosage: usually 1:1000 as needed; Solution volume: 25-30ml;
Sampling method: Use a gas sampling needle to sample, with a volume of 0.2mL, and transfer it to gas chromatography for detection. Based on the chromatographic working curve, the content of the target gas in the gas sample can be measured (mol). The target gas generation amount in the gas phase can be calculated based on the sampled gas volume and the empty volume (mL) of the reaction bottle.

Visible photochemical synthesis
Suitable for various types of visible light catalysis research:
·Visible light catalytic oxidation reaction
·Visible light catalytic reduction reaction
·Visible light catalyzed neutral reaction.
Reaction conditions: Catalysts (ruthenium, iridium complexes, organic dyes, etc.) and raw materials are mixed uniformly under the action of a magnetic suspension stirring device, and then reacted under the illumination of an LED light source.
Sampling method: The liquid sampling needle draws 200 μ l of liquid sample from the PTFE pad on the reaction bottle cap, uses a microporous membrane, transfers the clear liquid to a pipette, and takes 1 μ l for gas chromatography measurement. Or use TLC spot plate testing.

MerckSynLED Parallel Light ReactorProduct advantages and efficiency

Visible light catalysis research is different from photoelectric testing (such as solar cells), usually requiring a longer reaction process, especially for some catalyst life tests, which can reach hundreds of hours or even tens of days. SynLED-16 A Discover can simultaneously test 16 samples in parallel, effectively eliminating systematic errors such as radiation attenuation changes to the greatest extent possible, bringing the efficiency of photocatalytic research to a new stage.

·Testing of photocatalytic energy and synthesis direction (parallel comparative experiments with multiple samples have been conducted by universities such as North Carolina, Peking University, and Nanjing University in the United States, and feedback has been positive)
·Drug modification: Traditional Western medicine generally has certain drug resistance, and how to develop new structural drug molecules is a major challenge in new drug development. The use of this device can quickly establish a batch of drug molecules and intermediates with * structure, greatly improving the efficiency of new drug development.
