Bridge the gap between laboratory research and industrial production. The MPDS® BASIC (Modular Photochemical Development System) is the global standard for professional, reproducible, and safe photochemical trials.
Before diving into the technical specifications of our modular photochemical development system, here is why leading research facilities choose the BASIC configuration:
In professional R&D, standard setups often fail due to a lack of reproducibility and modularity. The MPDS® BASIC provides a sophisticated photochemical laboratory system that standardizes your workflow. Whether you are performing initial feasibility studies or complex screening, this system ensures that your data is valid for future industrial up-scaling.
We supply the entire range of reactor types as standard: from Batch and Semi-batch to Conti Flow (Falling-Film, Tubular, Side-loop, Plate-flow, and Micro-flow).
A professional photochemical laboratory system is only as strong as its components. The MPDS® BASIC integrates four critical elements into one cohesive workflow.
All photochemically relevant wavelengths at your fingertips.
We cover the entire spectral range by utilizing both monochromatic and polychromatic light sources. Our cutting-edge lamp technology includes:
nova®LIGHT TQ150
Medium pressure
nova®LIGHT TXE 150
Xenon
nova®LIGHT TLP15
Low pressure
nova®LIGHT TLED100
High power LED

The MPDS® BASIC is not just a simple photoreactor; it is the first step in your process development journey. As your research matures, the system can be expanded step-by-step into an automated MPDS® EVO or MPDS® PRO system.
This modularity allows you to acquire the reaction-relevant data—such as quantum yield and kinetic parameters—necessary for a successful transition to industrial-scale production, while keeping initial investments at a minimum.
The standard range covers 2 ml up to 3,000 ml. However, because we design and manufacture our own glass and reactor components, we can offer customized photoreactor geometries for specific research needs.
Yes. Safety is a core component of our photochemical laboratory system. The included photonCABINET is light-proof, double-walled, and CE-compliant. It is specifically designed to protect operators from harmful optical radiation and ensures that any ozone generated by specific lamp types, but also flammable solvents can be safely managed within a standard fume hood environment.
The MPDS® BASIC is built for high-performance chemistry. Our reactors and cladding tubes are primarily manufactured from high-quality Borosilicate 3.3 or Quartz glass, offering excellent resistance to most organic solvents and corrosive chemicals. For seals and fastening elements, we utilize high-grade fluoropolymers (like PTFE/FKM) and stainless steel, ensuring the system remains leak-proof and durable even when handling challenging reaction mixtures. If any corrosive gases are involved, we recommend the PRO series
One of the primary advantages of the Modular Photochemical Development System Basic is its speed of reconfiguration. Thanks to our patented screwing system and the photonCABINET's encoded connectors, switching from a monochromatic UV-LED to a polychromatic Mercury or Xenon lamp takes only a few minutes. This allows researchers to screen multiple wavelengths and lamp technologies in a single day without tedious tool-heavy adjustments. Even the lamp cooling devices can be re-used for different kind of lamps, making it even more modular and efficient
Absolutely. The “Modular” in MPDS® means you can add sensors, actuators, and automation modules to transition into the EVO or PRO series as your project grows. Your initial investment in the BASIC hardware is protected, as the core components remain compatible with our more advanced automation suites.
Yes. While many entry-level systems are limited to batch reactions, the MPDS® BASIC supports the entire range of Batch, Conti Flow photoreactors, including Falling-Film, Tubular-Flow, and Plug-flow options. This makes it an ideal tool for researchers looking to transition from traditional batch processing to continuous flow photochemistry.
