UV Photoreactor 254 nm and 310 nm

Our UV Photoreactor Lucent360™ is available with LED light sources at 254 nm, 300 nm, 310 nm, 340 nm, 365 nm as well as visible light (see here).

This UV photoreactor Lucent360™ is capable to perform experiments with several wavelengths simultaneously and a temperature controlled from 0°C to 80°C. The glassware is available in quartz material.

Lucent UV Bottom Lights

We tested the Lucent360 UV capability using 2 different reactions; an actinometric reaction using the photoisomerization of a azobenzene (Fig. 1) and a [2+2] photocycloaddition of maleimide and 1-hexyne (Fig. 2).

Pulsed-Light Photochemistry: Yes, No or Maybe?

Pulsing light in a photocatalysis reaction is like flipping on the strobe lights at a party—but can it shift the vibe enough to change outcomes? Inspired by a recent study, this month we take you for a spin on this experimental dance floor.
