There are a number of challenges that need to be overcome in order to stimulate more synthesis chemists to adopt continuous‐flow chemical processing techniques. By way of example, the use of cryogenic consumables to cool reactions is impractical on scale or over extended reaction times. Here, a solution to the problem is described with the development of a convenient laboratory device that offers chemists the benefits of continuous flow processing using an accurate thermal energy transfer block which provides long‐term reaction stability and is free from water ingress.
