Phoenix-H-Genie Platform
Hydrogenation system for high-demanding reactions
Hydrogenation with a modular system
Designed to be used safely in any discovery, development, process, petrochemical or catalyst screening lab, the platform combines in-situ high pressure hydrogen generation with high temperature applications and precise gas data monitoring. Chemists and chemical engineers can now run hydrogen-based experiments with homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts up to 450°C and 100 bar without the need for hydrogen cylinders or hydrogen storage.
Features of the Phoenix-H-Genie Platform
Safe: The platform ensures safety by generating hydrogen on-demand through the electrolysis of water. It has the capability to produce up to 1 NL/min of hydrogen, making it safe to use in any laboratory setting. With this innovation, there’s no longer a need for hydrogen cylinders.
Versatile: The platform can accommodate temperatures of up to 450°C and pressures of up to 100 bar. It provides both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactor sets, catering to a wide range of experimental needs.
Scalable: To meet varying requirements, the platform offers a range of self-fillable cartridges or CatCarts. These allow for catalyst optimization and synthesis, enabling the synthesis of quantities ranging from milligrams to kilos.
Precise: The platform is equipped with an in-built mass flow controller that ensures precise hydrogen pressure and flow rate monitoring. Users can easily export collected data for analysis and record-keeping.
Fast: With the ability to make quick changes to temperature, hydrogen pressure, and flow rate on the fly, the platform enables rapid optimization of experiments, saving valuable time.
Simple: The platform is designed with user-friendliness in mind, making it easy to set up and operate. Its intuitive interface ensures a smooth and hassle-free user experience.
Modular: The system set-up is highly customizable, allowing for tailored configurations based on specific user needs. This modular approach ensures flexibility and adaptability to various laboratory setups.
