Product catalog summary
Overview: The Uniqsis PhotoChip is a temperature-controlled photoflow reactor module designed for use with Uniqsis Glass Static Mixer blocks (GSMs). It is compatible with both COMPACT and LARGE format GSMs and is intended for flow-mixing reactions with channel volumes up to 20ml.
Specifications: The PhotoChip features a large-format LED array with high-power LEDs available in wavelengths of 365nm, 385nm, 405nm, 420nm, 455nm, and 525nm. It supports two power supply units: the 180W Borealis digital PSU and the 150W Scholar PSU. The module includes a nitrogen gas purge inlet, integrates with external recirculators or piped water supplies, and is equipped with an indicator window, safety interlock, and LED thermal cutout.
Temperature Control: Accurate temperature control is achieved by connecting the PhotoChip to an external thermoregulating recirculator or a piped water supply. A temperature sensor or process probe is inserted beneath the GSM for monitoring. Liquid-cooling of the LED array can be managed via a recirculator or a cold water supply.
Setup Procedure: The setup involves fitting the GSM to the Cold Chip baseplate, connecting tubing, fitting the LED array, inserting the temperature sensor, connecting coolant hoses, and powering the system. For the Scholar PSU version, a separate digital thermometer is required for temperature monitoring.
Safety Features: The PhotoChip includes a thermal cutout that activates at 50°C to protect the LEDs, resetting at 30°C. A safety interlock prevents LED exposure if the lamp unit is lifted during operation.
Product Variants: The PhotoChip is available in different versions based on the PSU selected. The 180W Borealis PSU supports a lamp unit with 120 high-power LEDs, while the 150W Scholar PSU supports a lamp unit with 96 LEDs. The Scholar PSU offers manual output adjustment and is more compact and cost-effective.
Applications: The PhotoChip is designed for efficient photoflow chemistry in GSM reactor blocks, providing static mixing and reproducible control of reaction parameters.

A spacer with internal cooling channels fi=ed with an indicator window separates the LED lamp from the Cold Chip in order to accommodate the threaded tubing connec ons on the GSM. Accurate temperature control of the GSM is achieved by connec ng the PhotoChip to an external thermoregula ng recirculator or piped water supply (for reac ons close to ambient). An external temperature sensor or process probe is inserted into the baseplate directly beneath the GSM. Liquid-cooling of the LED array can be achieved either by connec on in series with the recirculator or separately by connec ng to a cold...

The 150W Scholar PSU is matched to a lamp unit with 96 individual high-power LEDs (shown opposite). The Scholar PSU has a manually variable output (20% increments) and is unable to read or display temperatures (the reactor temperature is monitored using a separate digital temperature probe). Whilst it lacks the remote programmable features of the Borealis PSU, it is both more compact and cost-effectve. PhotoChip is a modular, compact and powerful temperature-controlled reactor module that enables photoflow chemistry to be performed efficiently in Glass Stab'c Mixer Reactor Blocks with stab'c...
