  • Page 3: Introduction

    1 Introduction The Photoreactor m2 is a benchtop instrument designed for chemists and researchers to accelerate chemical reactions using photoredox catalysis. The Photoreactor m2 combines LED illumination, mechanical stirring and cooling in one device. The user defined parameters of temperature, intensity, stir rate and time, creates a valuable tool for repeatability, traceability, efficiency and consistency of results.
