Abstract: The present invention provides a system, comprising at least one reactor array, comprising at least two reactor vessels (2) a connecting member for fixating the at least two reactor vessels relative to each other (4, 5) at least one reactor block (18) comprising a heating block (20) for heating the reactor vessels (2) the heating block (20) comprising at least two reactor channels for receiving the at least two reactor vessels (2) wherein the heating block (20) is constructed of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient <=1×10e?5 K-I (at 293K). In an embodiment the heating block is substantially entirely constructed of graphite.

Abstract: Described is a method for the preparation of a chromium-free catalyst comprising Cu and at least one second metal in metallic or oxidic form, comprising the steps of a) preparing a final solution comprising ions of Cu and of at least one second metal, said final solution additionally comprising ions of a complexing agent and having a pH of above 5; b) contacting said final solution with inert carrier to form a final solution/carrier combination; c) optionally, drying the final solution/carrier combination; d) calcining the final solution/carrier combination obtained in step c) or d) to yield Cu and the at least one second metal in oxidic form; and e) reducing at least part of the thus obtained oxidic Cu on the carrier. Further, a catalyst obtainable by the said method as well as uses thereof are described.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for obtaining and analyzing solids, preferably crystals, which method comprises the following steps: providing a well plate, the well plate comprising a plurality of wells, each of the wells having a depth and an open upper end and each of the wells being provided with a filter having pores, which filter is arranged at a distance below the open upper end, each of the wells having an upper inner wall part above the filter that has a fluid contact surface and each filter having a top filter surface, at least both the fluid contact surface of the well and the top filter surface being of a material that is at least substantially inert for organic and/or aqueous solvents and/or mixtures of organic and aqueous solvents, providing one or more substances and one or more solvents in at least one of the wells of the well plate, applying conditions to dissolve the one or more substances in the one or more solvents; applying conditions for crystallizing at least a part of the su
