Scaling a microreactor from lab bench to factory floor is a lot like taking a boutique bakery and turning it into a chain of busy stores. In the lab, you can babysit a single loaf. In production, you must feed dozens of ovens, keep quality […]
Choosing the right material for a microreactor is like choosing the right material for a bridge: the wrong pick can lead to costly repairs, safety headaches, or an unusable design. Microreactors bring unique demands — tiny channels, high surface-to-volume ratios, and sometimes extreme chemical or […]
Microreactors aren’t just a niche lab toy; they’re a toolbox that can change how many chemical processes are done. But the path from promising lab data to a humming factory floor is full of bumps. This expanded article digs into more reaction classes, real-world constraints, […]
Microreactors are no longer a lab curiosity. They are moving into pilot plants and, for some companies, into production lines. But the move from a single tiny reactor to volumes that make business sense brings a big question: do you build many identical small units […]
