Original Press Release:
METTLER TOLEDO Introduces ReactIR(TM) iC10 and iC IR1.0: In Situ Application Solution
COLUMBIA, MD - METTLER TOLEDO introduces the next generation ReactIR for the Process Development Chemist who needs to understand their chemistry: ReactIR iC10 (as in "I see"). Do you know when your reaction Starts and Stops? Is percent conversion of starting material to product a concern? Is the concentration of your chemistry a concern for you? Do intermediates affect your target product or process? If you answered yes to any of the above, then the ReactIR iC10 is the right application tool to see and understand your chemistry. Here are examples of how:
o Reaction Start/Stop profiling provides invaluable information for Reaction Time and Safety by
- Reducing cycle times in Mixed Anhydrides;
- Reducing product degradation and impurities in Asymmetric Esters; and
- Reducing accumulation of potentially dangerous Grignard reagents.
o Reaction Progress provides real-time monitoring to determine reaction rate and progress
- Real-time percent conversion monitoring of starting material to product;
- Real-time reaction rate profile of starting material and product; and
- Real-time monitor of reaction progress.
o Intermediates monitoring is useful to determine unwanted Accumulations and optimized Dosing by
- Reducing hazardous intermediate accumulation in Nitrobenzene Hydrogenations;
- Improving cycle times and product quality resulting from optimized Dosing; and
- Reducing disposal expense of "off-spec" product.
o Concentration monitoring is a valuable metric for Crystallizations and Yield/Conversion by
- Improving crystallization processes;
- Reducing "off-spec" material; and
- Optimizing reagent usage.
ReactIR iC10 is ideally suited for in situ monitoring of chemical reaction species using a flexible (Chalcogenide) mid-infrared fiber optic conduit, coupled with a versatile 6mm diameter Diamond ATR probe (DiCompTM). The ReactIR iC10 system provides real-time analysis of chemical reaction characteristics and species, including reaction initiation/end point, mechanism, kinetics, and intermediates. The significantly reduced size and compact design of the system further minimizes the need for valuable bench top space.
The ReactIR system is equipped with easy-to-use, applications software, iC IR1.0. The iC IR1.0 control application is a wizard-based program that "guides" you through the initial setup and collection of reaction data. Automated features such as solvent/water vapor subtraction, functional group profiling and ConcIRT LIVE automatically transform infrared spectral data into reaction information without the need for any specialized user input or configuration.
