Electrochemical Synthesis

With the availability of the µ-PrepCell ( a micro preparative EC cell) the electrochemical synthesis of metabolites and other REDOX species (e,g,, intermediates) becomes feasible within minutes. Typical quantities are in the µg range /minutes. Collecting the REDOX products over 1 hour or more result in sufficient amounts for identification with modern NMR. Huge time savings results compared to wet chemistry or the expensive and often insufficient enzymatic approaches.
