Great news! After depositing this patent in 2023 with Molecolab at Università di Pisa about a new modular photoreactor (or as we call it "The Fhattapposta") we are very happy to communicate that the patent was finally accepted. This innovation combines a fully modular architecture with interchangeable reaction, LED, stirring, and support modules, adaptable to conventional lab equipment. A smart control unit capable of automatically detecting connected modules and configuring the system accordingly. Integrated thermoregulation and optical filtering for precise reaction environments. A feedback-controlled illumination system that enables dynamic adjustment of LED output. This ability to monitor transmitted light and actively regulate the LED intensity to maintain a constant absorbed photon flux during the reaction is very useful to control photochemical reaction and favour reproducibility. A great thanks to the people of our Research & Innovation office at Università di Pisa for their essential contribution in translating an initial prototipe in a potential tool to boost innovation.
