The partition co-efficient of an extraction system is particularly important when looking to formulate a new product. The Syrris FLLEX system can rapidly determine log P for a range of different solvent types.
The FLLEX system can be used to test different solvent pairs to determine which is the most efficient for a particular extraction by determining log P.
By changing the flow rate of the solvents into the system, different equilibration times can be tested to find the optimal separation.
Log P studies can be conducted with a system as simple as the FRX schematic below shows.
More complex systems can be used to perform multiple experiments (varying concentrations, temperatures and solvents) to fully explore a range of reaction variables. The AFRICA system shown (right) is an example of this.
