Separating mixtures of immiscible liquids is a critical process in flow chemistry. Andrew Harvie, Jack Herrington, and John deMello have written a paper detailing how to make a useful piece of equipment to separate immiscible liquids for just $125. The project makes use of 3D Printing, a drilled out block of aluminum, a positional servo […]

Continuous Flow Systems For Chemistry on the Cheap
Continuous Flow Systems run chemical reactions by continuously flowing reactants past each other. Pumps control fluid channels holding the reagents and chemical reactions occur at intersections of those pumps. It’s the chemistry version of the Lab On a Chip. Flow chemistry doesn’t have to be small-scale, it’s used in industrial manufacturing, but it can be […]
