Below are a few interesting developing applications: Cell Culture Medium Flutec® liquids have been used to increase yields in biological cultures requiring oxygen. Animal, plant, microbial and tumour cells have all successfully been grown using Flutec® liquids as the growth medium. Fluorous Biphasic Catalysis Since its inception in 1991 fluorous biphasic catalysis (FBC) methods have advanced rapidly. Flutec® fluids, particularly Flutec PP2 has been used as the perfluorinated fluorous solvent in FBC systems. Reactions such as hydroformylation have been successfully carried out using FBC. Reaction Suppression Flutec® fluids can act as heat sinks in reactions where temperature control is essential. As the temperature rises the Flutec® fluid boils keeping the reaction mixture at a steady temperature. As the Flutec® fluid is insoluble, it can easily be recovered after reaction and used again in the next batch.
