About the DReaM Facility
The Facility was established in 2016 with an EPSRC strategic equipment grant, to monitor homogeneous chemical reactions in real-time.
Dynamic Reaction Monitoring Facility
The Dynamic Reaction Monitoring (DReaM) Facility combines several analytical techniques to monitor liquid-phase chemical reactions in real-time.
