Patent ID: 7468165

Claim:
A micro-reactor system ( 11 ) for continuous synthesis, providing defined reaction spaces and conditions for the synthesis, wherein the micro-reactor system ( 11 ) comprises (a) a processing unit ( 10 ) assembled from processing modules ( 38 , 40 , 42 , 44 ) which can be connected with one another via a non-positive connection, and (b) fluid connections between adjacent processing modules ( 38 , 40 , 42 , 44 ), which can be achieved by the non-positive connection of the processing modules ( 38 , 40 , 42 , 44 ), wherein the fluid connections are formed by fluid-carrying connecting elements ( 50 ), with two ends of the fluid-carrying connecting elements being insertable in suitable connection openings ( 54 ) of two adjacent processing modules ( 38 , 40 , 42 , 44 ) for transporting fluid media through the processing modules, wherein the non-positive connection of the processing modules ( 38 , 40 , 42 , 44 ) is essentially provided by friction forces between the two ends of the fluid-carrying connecting elements and the suitable connecting openings ( 54 ) of the two adjacent processing modules ( 38 , 40 , 42 , 44 ).
