Selecting the right lab supplements depends on several factors: - Nature of the Catalytic Reaction: Different reactions require different reagents and conditions. For instance, homogeneous catalysis often requires specific ligands and solvents, whereas heterogeneous catalysis may require solid supports and surface modifiers. - Scale of the Reaction: Small-scale reactions may only need basic glassware and a few reagents, while large-scale industrial processes require specialized equipment and large quantities of reagents. - Analytical Requirements: The choice of analytical equipment depends on the type of data needed. For example, if product identification is crucial, MS or NMR may be necessary.
