ReactArray Solo – Designed to give a Great Reaction

Parallel chemistry is now widely employed throughout industry to improve productivity and investigate compound synthesis parameters more exhaustively. It is invaluable in reducing the bottleneck from drug discovery through to routine cost effective manufacture of high yields of therapeutics with maximum stability and minimum toxicity. The faster, higher quality of process development facilitated by parallel chemistry methods saves companies significant sums of money in production and reduces time to market. However, control of such studies can be problematic and efficient sampling and analysis over time, complex and demanding.

For today’s chemists, ReactArray Solo simplifies set up and control of a number of manually prepared and sampled reaction vessels to be studied in parallel. Solo enables many parameters to be investigated simultaneously without the need for laboratory automation equipment. Any chemist can generate more experimental data whilst saving on reagent costs.

Solo’s robust hardware has been adopted and proven by most of the world’s Pharmaceutical Industry. Studies are quick and easy to set up with a wide application range and choice of reaction conditions. Specially designed reaction racks offer 10 vessels (Reactivate Rack) with individual temperature (-30oC to 150oC) and stirring control or 48 reaction vessels (Microvate Rack) with twelve independent temperature zones.

Chemists have complete control of the reactions with the ability to make changes to any vessel condition at any time. The intuitive Windows™ based software can even send e-mail reminders to the user’s PC prompting a return to a reaction to make an addition or to take a sample!

ReactArray systems have been developed through collaboration between Anachem and chemists within the pharmaceutical industry to provide a proven and robust concept that meets the demand for high throughput reaction screening and optimization. Anachem is a leading supplier of laboratory equipment and services, established for over thirty five years with key expertise in liquid handling, chromatography, automation and process optimization solutions.
