Knitted Open Tubular (KOT) Reactor/Mixer/Delay Coil, PTFE

CONNECTION FOR MULTIPLE KOTS (I.E. TO CONNECT 2 PCS OF 10 M KOTS)

The Biotech knitted open tubular (KOT) reactors are made from tubing which has been knitted into a tortuous path to force the fast-moving centre of the liquid stream to mix radially with the slower-moving boundary liquid layer, thereby minimizing the axial dispersion. The shape of a chromatographic peak entering the reactor is thus preserved very efficiently. To ensure stable radial mixing within the KOT, a linear flow rate of 10 cm/s or more is recommended. The KOT reactor is usually the most optimal delay element for use in analytical flow systems and is typically inserted in the flow path to create a delay line so that a reaction or other event that requires a certain time can take place. Examples of applications: efficient mixing of two fluidic streams, delay coil in a fluidic system, and online derivatization of a sample with UV light, etc
