H-Cube Hydrogenation Reactor
The H-cube is a continuous flow reactor used to carry out reactions safely in a hydrogen (or inert) atmosphere of up to 100 Bar and temperatures up to 100 °C.
The electrolysis module provides only the required amount of hydrogen required for the reaction, much safer than maintaining a hydrogen gas cylinder. The microreactor can be equipped with a wide assortment of different catalysts such as:
- Pd/C
- Pt/C
- Raney-Ni
- Rh/C
- Wilkinsons Catalyst
- Lindlars Catalyst
- Tetrakiss (TPP) Pd polymer-bound

University of Sheffield customers should bring their samples along with a completed Internal service form and purchase order form (members of the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences do not need a purchase order form) to lab C43 in the Dainton Building.
Sample submission forms
Materials sent to the service should be correctly packaged and labelled in accordance with CoSHH regulations and a CoSHH form for the proposed reaction must also be sent.
Every effort will be made to carry out the reaction as requested, however, results cannot be guaranteed.
