Abstract
Developed by TetraQuant chemical reactor CR-1 was designed to produce nano- and microparticles. We use it for the synthesis of magnetite and maghemite nanoparticles, vaterite microparticles and magnetic beads for the separation of proteins and exosomes. Being a separate product of the company, the chemical reactor allowed us to organize the production of particles for the main project of the company - an approach for isolation of exosomes and analysis specific membrane receptors, for example for early cancer diagnosis. When developing the reactor, we paid sufficient attention to the usability and cost of production and maintenance of the device. Automation of the particle synthesis process allows to reduce the probability of error, increase the repeatability of the parameters of the obtained particles (size, composition), and also free up the operator’s time for other tasks.
