PhotoRedOx Box™

The EvoluChem PhotoRedOx Box™ is the photochemistry photoreactor choice for the chemist who seeks to standardize laboratory photochemical setups economically. A flexible design allows interchangeable LEDs from 365 to 740 nm and a wide variety of vials.

This photochemistry photoreactor (US Patent #10,906,022) is designed to facilitate photochemical experimentation. It is compatible with most vial formats (0.3 ml, 2 ml, 4 ml and 20 ml vials) and its compact design allows for use with any stirring plate. A built-in fan keeps the reaction conditions at room temperature.

Fenton Boat Photocatalysis: An Adventure with Iron and Wood

Photocatalysis with iron and wood? Fenton Boats? Stick around and we’ll explain—And show you a video of a photocatalyst boat!

Choose Your Own Adventure (with photoinduced cross-coupling)

At first we decided to summarize the Ni cross-coupling photocatalysis literature in a short review—But we quickly realized that’s a terrible idea. Instead, we took on the much more enjoyable task and screen this chemistry with the Lucent360.
