A Chemistry-Native AI Workbench for Industrial Chemistry R&D
REACTOR is used by industrial chemists across process chemistry, continuous manufacturing, industrial catalysis, petrochemicals, bulk and commodity chemistry, and process safety. It reasons across peer-reviewed literature, your own protocols, and connected chemistry data sources, with source references for extracted claims and supporting citations for synthesized inferences.
Free tier available. No credit card required.
Industrial chemistry R&D moves between molecular chemistry and large-scale process realities.
A typical project covers process route selection, scale-up chemistry, catalysis at industrial scale, heat and mass transfer considerations, process safety, and ongoing optimization. Each step draws on peer-reviewed literature, internal process data, supplier specs, and the team's own scale-up history.
The slow part is reasoning across that surface while keeping the chemistry context tied to process reality. Holding reaction chemistry, engineering constraints, safety profile, and economics in context as the project moves from bench to pilot to plant.
REACTOR is a chemistry co-pilot designed for this work. It reasons across industrial chemistry alongside the materials you bring in, links extracted claims to source documents, and keeps captured insights organized in your Research Space.
Where REACTOR Fits Across Industrial Chemistry
Industrial chemistry R&D spans a broad chemistry surface. Each sub-area has its own reasoning challenges, and each benefits from a chemistry-native intelligence layer.
Process Chemistry & Scale-Up
Continuous Manufacturing & Flow Chemistry
Industrial Catalysis
Petrochemicals & Refining Chemistry
Bulk & Commodity Chemistry
Process Safety & Hazard Chemistry
What This Looks Like in Industrial Chemistry
Concrete examples of how REACTOR's chemistry-native reasoning supports the full R&D loop: discover, analyze, capture, reuse.
Scale-Up Route Evaluation
A process chemist evaluating a route to a new intermediate at pilot scale interrogates the literature on scale-up chemistry, side reactions, and impurity formation. REACTOR reasons across the chemistry, with source references on extracted claims.
Comparing Continuous Processing Approaches
A senior chemist comparing batch and continuous-flow approaches uploads recent process literature and the team's kinetic data. REACTOR reasons across residence time, selectivity, and impurity behavior, with the analysis captured as a Resource.
Investigating a Catalyst Lifetime Issue
An R&D lead investigating catalyst deactivation in an industrial unit uploads characterization data and adjacent literature. REACTOR surfaces relevant deactivation chemistry and prior-art context, attached to the Research Space.
Forking Reasoning on Two Reaction Routes
A process chemist forks a reasoning thread to evaluate two reaction routes for a new commodity intermediate. Both lines of inquiry stay live in the Research Space, with AI Notes and User Notes captured separately.
Web Research Inside REACTOR
REACTOR includes live web research alongside its core chemistry reasoning. Industrial chemists use it to evaluate equipment and catalyst suppliers, compare process technology vendors, track regulatory and safety standards, and access current industry intelligence from across the open web. Web results are presented with source provenance; users should verify critical safety or regulatory information against primary literature, regulatory databases, or supplier data.
