About Us

Q Labtech is a U.S.-based laboratory technology company. Our patented technology features a pressure-release and reseal system that
prevents accidental explosions due to over pressurization in the pressure reactor. Our products, Q-Tube (pressure reactor) and QianCap
(safety cap for Ace type pressure bottles), are affordable alternatives to microwave synthesizers. Our Fisher-Porter type of purging systems
can be used for hydrogenation and gas-filled pressurized reactions.  

How Does Pressure Impact Chemical Reactions?

A pressure reactor enables a reaction to be carried out at higher temperature than the boiling point of a solvent and a reagent, which will
increase the reaction rate (Arrhenius Equation: every 10°C increase could double the speed). Pressure reduces reaction volume, including
liquid, which increases concentration and collision frequency, and in turn speeds up a reaction. When the desired reaction is accelerated , the
competing reagent decompositions are minimized. Pressure enables faster reactions with cleaner profiles.

The Benefits of Our Products

Q-Tube™ and QianCap™ PURGING systems can be operated safely and accurately with high reproducibility with a wide range of gases,
including Ammonia, Nitrogen, Argon, Hydrogen, Deuterium, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, etc.

Q-Parallel Synthesizer™ enable multiple simultaneous reactions to be done in about 40 minutes; a great tool for reaction optimization and
pressurized parallel synthesis.

Q-Tube-12mL and 35mL pressure reactors are affordable alternatives to expensive and cumbersome microwave synthesizers. In addition to
organic synthesis, Q-Tube™  and QianCap™ find use anywhere that higher yields, cleaner products, and synthesis, catalytic hydrogenation,
polymerization, acid digestion process for accurate trace metal analysis, like silver, and other chemical processes.

In addition to the above benefits using the Q-TUBE™ and QianCap™ overa microwave synthesizer, Q-TUBE™ and QianCap™ provide extra
advantages of:

  • Safety-virtually eliminating the risk of pressure explosions
  • Higher and cleaner product yields (microwave energy is known to cause localized overheat which accelerates decomposition reactions
    especially on heterocycles)
  • Scalable (up to 1850 mL)
  • Higher Pressure than a typical pressure tube
  • Higher reproducibility (than a microwave)
  • Greener (broader solvent choices than microwave and conventional round bottom flask)
  • Energy savings (92 percent energy reduction and 150 gallons of water per refluxed reaction)
  • Affordable, only a fraction of a microwave synthesizer
  • Maintenance-free
