Microreactor Technology (MRT) or flow chemistry is an upcoming technology in the fine-chemistry and the pharmaceutical industry. The excellent mass- and heat-transfer properties of microreactors give this technology many advantages over batch-wise chemistry. Mixing and heating fluids in a Microreactor yields a very high degree of control on the chemical reaction. Only small quantities of fluids are necessary because of the limited space in a Microreactor. This means that heating and cooling can be done more precisely. Unwanted side reactions due to gradients in temperature or concentration therefore do almost not occur. This means that the reaction in a microreactor yields a purer product than batch-wise chemistry. Scaling up with microreactor technology can be done fast and under continuous and consistent circumstances.
