AutoLAB: A Bench-Top Automated Reactor System

H.E.L’s fully customizable AutoLAB reactor platforms are designed, configured, and tailored to meet your specific process and application requirements. The modular and highly adaptable nature of the system enables the platform to evolve with your research and development interests.

Controlled by H.E.L’s powerful labCONSOL software platform, the AutoLAB supports a diverse range of applications, such as:

Polymerization

Crystallization

Synthesis

High- and low- pressure reactions

Process optimization

Kilo-pilot/production plant scale-up

H.E.L Group has been developing bespoke reactor solutions for the chemical R&D community for more than threedecades, so if your work requires functionality that is not listed, please contact us.

Features and Options:

Vessel Types and Volumes

Interchangeable insulated vessels from 250 mL to 50 L available in both glass and metal.

Temperature Control

-50 ⁰C to 250 ⁰C as standard (circulator dependent) with additional options to increase the range of -90 ⁰C up to 350 ⁰C (circulator dependent).

High Pressure and Vacuum Systems

The AutoLAB has a high-pressure configuration that supports the study of reactions at elevated pressure.

Sampling Systems

Through active pumps, manual dip tubes, automated level control, or multisampling units, like the ASU.

Reagent Addition

Through fully automated liquidand gas feeds as well as volumetric syringe pumps. These solutions can be applied to both high and low-pressure systems.

ControlOptions

All relevant inputs can be logged, enabling automated monitoring and, where appropriate, feedback control of the reactor system

Sensor Options

Temperature, pressure, pH, turbidity, conductivity

Integration of third-party probes is possible, such as in-situ FTIR, particle sizing probes, and Raman probes.

Stirring Available

Up to 2000 rpm/400 Ncm and are supplied in a wide range of materials and designs

Intelligent Software Control and Analysis

labCONSOL software control enables regular data logging, multi-step recipes, parameter control, and feedback loops. The software adds a responsive intelligence to the system and still delivers an intuitive interface that needs only minimal training to run quickly.

Safety Features

Include automatic user-configurable reaction limits andshutdown procedures,to ensure user safety.

Automatic hardware and software fail-safes are installed on every system
