Applications

Designed for laboratory chemistry.

FlexiFlow and FlexiConnect focus on jacketed glass reactor workflows for laboratory chemical synthesis and crystallisation. Support for individual instruments and vessels requires verification.

// CORE APPLICATIONSCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS · CRYSTALLISATION

These are intended workflow patterns, not claims of validated chemistry, verified compatibility or qualified processes. Equipment-specific integration and safety assessment are required.

01–02

Heat and hold

Ramp to 75 °C at 1 °C/min, then hold 30 min.

03–04

Cool, seed, hold

Cool to 60 °C at 0.2 °C/min. Seed. Hold 30 min.

05–07

Dose and finish

Dose 33.33 mL antisolvent over 45 min, hold 30 min, cool to 5 °C at 0.2 °C/min.

Design principles

Fail-safe behaviour in the design.

01

Sensor loss never counts as done.

A missing reading stops the step. It never completes it.

Under development
02

A short dose blocks the next step.

No moving on until the intended amount is in.

Under development
03

No automatic resume after power loss.

A person decides what happens next.

Under development
04

Independent hardware safety stop.

In the design, even if software does not respond.
