Catalyst cartridge packing system
In laboratory environments where customized catalyst screening and reaction optimization are essential, there’s a need for a safe, reliable method to pack catalysts and reagents into cartridges. This process must minimize risks associated with pyrophoric materials and prevent waste catalyst dispersion.
Efficiently pack your own catalysts and reagents
The CatCart® Packer from ThalesNano is designed to facilitate the in-house packing of catalysts and reagents into cartridges. This system enhances the ability to efficiently explore different catalytic reactions using flow chemistry. The CatCart® Packer includes three primary components: a vacuum system that secures the column and draws the catalyst into the cartridge, a filter and sealing system to prevent leakage and contamination, and a mechanical press to ensure a tight closure. The device improves safety with built-in features such as a water trap and filter, which capture waste catalysts and reduce the risk of fire when working with pyrophoric materials. The mechanical press is compact, with dimensions of 22 cm in width, 30 cm in length, and a height ranging from 40 cm to 53 cm, weighing 13.5 kg.
