Delp has introduced a new 500ml mixing system for moderate pressure and vacuum applications which it says is simpler to use, safer and more versatile than any system its size
Suitable for 35psi pressure or 30inch Hg vacuum, the system is ideal for contract manufacturing, small batch mixing, nano-material production, or high-value or hazardous materials applications.
"We have a great deal of interest in nanotechnology, and wanted to be at the forefront in developing equipment to serve that market," said Lisa Delp, president and CEO of Delp and Associates, owner of Delp Mixer.
"The 500ml system was designed to easily and safely process hazardous materials in small quantities and reduce the risk of injury to the user." The Delp 500ml mixing system comes equipped with a model 216-25 Delp Mixer; 216MSB-C collet-style mount for glass, metal or coated shafts; EG12 Mag-Drive variable speed motor; standard power supply; EG12T Tachometer; 500ml pressure reaction flask with a round bottom, pressure reaction flask head with extended #25 thread centre neck, one #7 and three #15 side necks with Capfe O-ring; quick-release clamp; cork ring; standard lab stand with a 28inch mast; two hook connectors; chain clamp; single-adjust Talon clamp; and a PTFE lifting agitator mounted to a cut-to-length glass stir shaft.
Unlike other available low-volume systems for moderate pressure, the Delp system allows greater flexibility for scale-up and is easily adaptable for other mixing applications.
The system also can be sterilized between batches to prevent cross contamination.
"In addition to all its features, the 500ml system retains the benefits that make all Delp products unique - size, versatility, ease of use, value, and one-on-one customer service before, during and after the sale," said Delp Vice President and Chief Designer Terry Delp.
The new system is Delp product #SYS-500, and can be ordered through the Delp Mixer catalogue or online.
Delp mixers are easy-to-use, easy-to-assemble and easy-to-maintain bench-scale laboratory mixers that mount to standard laboratory glassware in multiple configurations and can mix in both pressure and vacuum environments.
The mixers can be made more versatile through a variety of available mounts and adapters.
