Multi-Plate Irradiation to Speed Cellular Catalyst Research in Drug Discovery, Biochemistry

Acceled LLC, providers of benchtop instruments designed for chemists and researchers seeking to accelerate chemical reactions using photoredox catalysis, is excited to announce the introduction of the cLight. The cLight joins the Acceled Photoreactor product line to add versatility and functionality for biochemists. The cLight, ideal for drug discovery and university research, allows for:

  • Single or multi-plate catalysis experimentation
  • Uniform LED illumination and cooling in a single device
  • Enhanced statistical comparison between protein interaction networks
  • User-customized time, light intensity, and temperature
  • Faster, repeatable, comparable results


clight-two-images_resizedAcceled’s expanded product line now supports growth plates as well as vial sizes GC, 4, 8, 30, and 40 ml. This increased versatility and compact footprint allow for expanded experiment design and fit:

  • External dimensions: 18" L x 11.375" W x 6.7" H
  • LED active area: 12.9” x 8.6”
  • 4.3" diagonal touch screen
  • "6-plex" dish at 90.5mm (3.56") diameter holds up to six dishes
  • > 95% uniformity across the working area of illumination


Biochemistry research must ramp up to meet the demands for innovation in genetic research, pharmaceuticals, proteomics, diagnostics, and food science. Acceled’s Photoreactor m2 and new cLight instruments support these aggressive innovation pipelines.

Top pharmaceutical companies around the world and prominent universities, including Princeton, Rutgers, Cornell, and UC Davis already rely on Acceled’s photoreactor platform. The cLight is now available for order:
