Abstract: Device and method for handling multi-component mixtures, comprising at least two not completely mixable fluid phases. The device comprises an arrangement of at least two high-pressure separators, being operatively connected each with a low-pressure separator. Each high-pressure separator comprises an outlet line for volatile gaseous constituents. Each low-pressure separator is operatively connected to a gas collecting container or shares at least one gas collecting container with a further low-pressure separator. At least one high-pressure separator has at least one outlet connection for gaseous constituents, being connected with a part to the analysis. The device is used in high-throughput research or in combinatory chemistry, preferably for the research of multi-component mixtures produced in experiments with catalyst, or in connection with high-pressure processes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a metering station (10) which allows liquids with elevated viscosity to be metered, especially liquids with a viscosity which is more than one hundred times the viscosity of water. The metering station is operated partly or fully automatically and has a modular structure. A metering module (1, 1?) comprises at least one plug connecting element (8), with whose aid the metering module (1, 1?) can be made to engage with a corresponding receiving device (9) for the plug connecting element. The plug connecting elements (8) are preferably multifunctional plugs which have at least one fluidic connecting element. In a further preferred embodiment, the plug connecting element (8), in addition to the at least one fluidic connecting element, also has at least one electrical connecting element for process control.

Abstract: Apparatus for simultaneously and/or successively carrying out at least two catalytic tests, having a reactor element, which includes at least one gas inlet unit, a plurality of reaction chambers and at least one restriction unit, the at least one restriction unit being configured in such a manner that it has a plurality of channels, which are arranged in such a manner that at least one reaction chamber is in direct contact with at least one channel of the at least one restriction unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing building blocks, which are identical or different, of a library of materials, comprising at least two building blocks, for performance characteristics, comprising a sequence of the following steps: 4) testing of at least one library building block for at least one performance characteristic; 5) detecting at least one measurable quantity, to which at least one performance characteristic of the at least one library building block can be assigned by at least one sensor, wherein at least one of the steps (4) and (5) is performed continuously.
