MPDS®, which stands for ‘Modular Photochemical Development System’, describes the modular system as standard for photochemical trials in the lab. The MPDS®BASIC product range covers application-oriented photoreactors and light sources for photochemical reactions, that have been specially developed for basic trials and feasibility studies on a laboratory scale.
From batch to semi-batch through Conti Flow photoreactors, we supply the entire range as standard. This includes Batch, Falling Film-, Tubular-, Side-loop-, Plate-flow and Micro-flow photoreactors. Depending on the application, you can choose from photoreactors with a volume of 2 ml to 5.000 ml. We also offer customized photoreactors.
MPDS®BASIC can be expanded step by step until it becomes an automated process development system. Depending on the stage of expansion, further reaction-relevant data can be acquired, which is necessary for up-scaling into industrial scale.

1. Lamp
All photochemically relevant wavelengths
We supply all types of lamps as standard products. We cover the entire spectral range in photochemistry by using both monochromatic and polychromatic light sources. Our innovative lamps such as UV-LEDs, daylight emitting Xenon light sources, mercury medium- or low-pressure lamps or represent the cutting edge of technology in our photoreactor systems. We measure and supply the relevant sprectral energy distribution data for all light sources. This ensures that all collected data is measurable, reproducible and publishable.

2. Cladding tubes
For immersion and thermal decoupling of lamps
A sophisticated, modular cladding tube system is available for the thermal decoupling of the lamp from the reaction medium. The innovative MPDS® screwing system prevents glass fastening elements from cracking and can be applied with a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar. The diameters of the cladding tubes in laboratory are optimized for photochemical research keeping the ratio to commercial scale constant. The glass tubes are easy to clean thanks to being fully demountable, perfectly suited to CIP cleaning.

3. Photoreactor
Choose the appropriate standard photoreactor
From batch to semi-batch through Conti-flow photoreactors, we supply the entire range as standard. This includes Batch-, Falling-Film, Tubular-Flow-, Side-loop, Plate-flow and Micro-flow photoreactors. Depending on the application, you can choose from photoreactors with a volume of 2 ml to 5.000 ml for laboratory trials.
Most reactors also have various access points for optical measurement, sampling, gas injection or inertization. Our standard is: All reactors that work in the laboratory can also be scaled to an idustrial level

4. BASIC Cabinet
Safe to operate and yet practical to use
Use of protective casing is compulsory to comply with the legal industrial safety requirements. It is completely safe to perform photochemistry in the photonCABINET (safety cabinet) and yet still practical. Special attention was paid to simple sampling and the uncomplicated insertion of sensors and actors such as stirring tables and dosing pumps. For example, encoded connectors ensure the correct electrical connection. The standard photoreactor systems are supplied fully wired and can be used plug- and play. With a footprint of 472 x 475 mm only, the system takes little space on the bench and still fits into a standard fume hood.
