DFC Flow Chemistry Systems

DFC develop advanced flow chemistry equipment for pharmaceutical, chemical and research applications. Their product range includes automated synthesis systems, flow reactors, pumps, pressure control devices and laboratory equipment designed to improve reaction control, repeatability and process efficiency.

Flow chemistry enables continuous processing within controlled flow channels rather than traditional batch vessels. This provides improved temperature control, faster mixing, accurate residence time control and safer handling of reactive chemicals.

OptimFlow Automated Synthesis System

The DFC OptimFlow system is designed for automated multi-sample synthesis and high-throughput experimentation.

OptimFlow enables rapid screening of reaction conditions, automated reagent handling and repeatable continuous flow processing for pharmaceutical and chemical research applications. The system is designed to reduce manual operation whilst improving efficiency during process development and reaction optimisation.

AltaFlow Flow Chemistry Platform

AltaFlow is DFC’s advanced automated flow chemistry platform for process research, reaction optimisation and continuous synthesis applications.

The system combines automated flow control, reagent switching, pressure management and temperature regulation within a compact and flexible platform designed for laboratory operation and process scale-up studies.

Flow Chemistry Pumps and Pressure Control

DFC plunger pumps provide highly stable, low-pulsation liquid delivery for continuous flow synthesis applications, ensuring accurate flow control and stable reaction conditions.

DFC also offer manual and automated back pressure regulators for precise pressure management during continuous processing. Accurate pressure control improves reaction stability, temperature management and solvent handling.

Reactors and Heating Systems

DFC manufacture a range of specialist reactors and heating systems for continuous flow applications.

The FC-PHR photoreactor series is designed for photochemical reactions with integrated temperature control and scalable reactor configurations. Tube heater systems provide accurate heating for continuous flow and multi-stage processes, whilst electrochemical reactors support electrochemical synthesis applications with replaceable electrode configurations.

Catalyst Columns and Process Monitoring

DFC catalyst columns are designed for continuous flow synthesis applications requiring low pressure drop and stable catalyst performance.

Inline pressure monitoring systems provide accurate pressure measurement across multiple channels, supporting safer and more reliable process control.

Materials and Customisation

DFC systems are available in a range of material configurations depending on chemical compatibility, pressure requirements and process conditions.

In addition to standard product ranges, DFC also provide custom-built laboratory equipment and specialist flow chemistry solutions for research and development environments.
