Flow Reactor Enzymes

Flow reactors enable continuous chemical reaction processes.

The drawback is that catalysts with the required reac- tion product are washed out of the reactor and lost. To prevent this loss, HLS researchers have developed a re- versible method of anchoring enzymes, i.e. biological catalysts, on a membrane. This has the advantage that, unlike previously, the membrane does not need to be changed when the enzyme is no longer active.
