We’ve worked with teams at @AnalyticalSales to demonstrate application of the TCR for reaction screening & optimization - the TCR has even been used on our Chemspeed robot for automated reaction profiling! #automation

The TCR provides uniform cooling of samples within the Lumidox II photoreactor, maintaining reaction temperatures of 27 C across ALL five light intensities. (2/3)

@chemchristensen and I are thrilled to share the new temperature-controlled reactor (TCR) for parallel photochemistry from @AnalyticalSales! #HTE (1/3) To learn more, visit analytical-sales.com/product-catego…

Proud of being part of this great collaboration

Congrats Serge, @gilmsbrj, and team for this innovative work and publication in @J_A_C_S. #MerckChemistry "Electrochemical Recycling of Adenosine Triphosphate in Biocatalytic Reaction Cascades" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Our #HTE book with @LeitchLab @ACSPublications is officially published - in 2 volumes! A true labor of love - a book I wished I had had when I started in this field many moons ago. Go check it out! pubs.acs.org/isbn/978084129…

@EmmertLab @BagPhos @PGE13 @jonathangrimm Thanks for sharing this @EmmertLab! A more detailed manuscript is in the works… 😊

Screening conditions via #HTE is a key tool in the synthesis kit, last week i heard of... <extraction screening> vary pH, ionic strength, salts (is brine always best) etc Seems a great way to increase efficiency, reduce solvent usage #GreenChemistry (image h/t @jonathangrimm )
