CHEMUK 2026 takes place at the NEC in Birmingham, UK, on 20th and 21st May and the Asynt team can’t wait. Schedule your visit Day 1: we’re to be joined by celebrated chemist, Dr Josh Smalley, who’ll be sharing a live masterclass in combined gastronomy and chemistry for your delectation. Find him on the Asynt stand, H102, throughout the day and for his first demo at midday. Day 2: Flow Chemistry s…

Numerous variables play a key role in photochemical reactions: wavelength, light intensity, time, temperature, stoichiometry and more. Often even small variations can result in very different results, and being able to test different parameters allows for reaction optimisation. This is one of the key reasons Asynt has developed a wide range of photochemical reactors designed for this kind of high…

Introducing the Asynt March 2026 Chemistry Newsletter: Continuous Flow Synthesis of Meso-substituted Porphyrins With Inline UV-Vis Analysis Porphyrins are some of the most elegant and important molecules found in nature, from chlorophyll driving photosynthesis to haem enabling oxygen transport. As we move into spring, when the chemistry of the natural world comes back into focus, it feels like a …

Curious how far automated Flow Chemistry can go? Read this Nature.com paper… We are pleased to share that the Cresswell Group, led by Dr Alexander J. Cresswell at the University of Bath (UK), have demonstrated the synthesis of a number of spirocyclic tetrahydonaphthyridines (THNs) expanding the chemical space of these important scaffolds for drug discovery. Presented at the recent Automated Synth…

A recent study showcases the successful continuous flow synthesis of meso-substituted porphyrins, with real-time UV–Vis monitoring using the FlowUV device from Asynt. The abstract reads: Graphical Abstract Porphyrin derivatives have found diverse applications due to their attractive photophysical and catalytic properties, but remain challenging to synthesize, particularly at scale. Porphyrin synt…

With St Patrick’s day rolling around for another year, on 17th March we will once again join the Irish in celebrating their national day that many like to adopt no matter what their nationality! The most popular drinks enjoyed are dominated by stouts – deeply coloured, highly bitter, mild alcohol content and full of bubbles, each glass of stout is a sensory overload, so I wanted to quickly delve …

Flow chemistry and photochemistry are both being increasingly utilised in synthetic chemistry. Flow chemistry allows for safer, more controllable processing and easier scale-up. Photochemistry has opened up novel routes that can be cleaner and more energy-efficient than standard synthesis. Continuous flow is one of the most effective ways to run photochemistry. It solves a lot of the practical ch…

The Chemistry Of Love… Under Pressure February brings Valentine’s Day, romance and of course diamonds. But did you know that diamonds do not have to come from deep within the earth? Synthetic diamonds are created by recreating nature’s conditions in the lab using very high pressure and high temperature. Carbon is placed under immense pressure, often tens of thousands of atmospheres and heated to …

Quadracell high pressure reactor evaluation: Read the open-access paper online: Formylation–Decarbonylation Relay Strategy for the Selective Hydrogenation of CO2 to CO The Quadracell reactor in this paper enabled us to improve the efficiency of the reverse water–gas shift reaction (the conversion of CO₂ and H₂ to CO and H₂O) using homogeneous catalysts. In this setup, we carried out the hydrogena…

Continuous flow chemistry modules come in a wide range of designs and geometries, with a system often requiring multiple units. By using modular reactors, you can adapt and add to your flow system as your research progresses, allowing you to introduce flow chemistry, mixing for heterogeneous reagents, heating, cooling, and more.
