Kan™ Reactors

Microreactors, also known as Kan Reactors, are miniaturized devices that contain both a funtionalized solid phase support and a unique tag identifier. By pooling microreactors into common building block groups, the Directed Sorting process makes synthesis efficient while one discrete compound is synthesized in each microreactor. Kans are designed to be loaded with solid phase resin beads. Each Kan reactor is "tagged" with a unique ID. Synthesis takes place as reagents flow through the outer mesh walls of the microreactors. Normal laboratory glassware and apparatus
are used for heating, cooling, mixing etc.

MicroKan, MiniKan and MacroKan reactors are made of high-grade polypropylene with polypropylene mesh sidewalls and cap. X-Kans are made from ETFE (teflon derivative) and offer the ability to use a broad range of solvents at higher synthesis temperatures.
