Syrris has introduced the Atlas turbidity system designed for monitoring and controlling crystallisation, emulsion and suspension processes.
The Atlas system enables turbidity to be examined and modified in jacketed reactors and round-bottom flasks by controlling the temperature as well as any additions to the vessel.
This system benefits from the high signal-to-noise ratio of the turbidity probe, ensuring that precise data is obtained.
Turbidity is then visualised on the Atlas base unit and real-time graphs can be generated using the Atlas software in the fully controlled lab-reactor mode.
This highly sensitive system has a simple two-point calibration, resulting in a 0-100 per cent turbidity range.
Automatic data logging enables the user to monitor the results directly from the Atlas base unit and download any data onto a USB device without PC control.
Furthermore, with the Atlas PC software, the system can crystallise along a turbidity ramp, allowing the determination of the metastable zone.
With a temperature range of -80C to >200C, the turbidity probe can be used with any Atlas reactor across a wide range of applications such as polymorphism studies, crystal seeding effects scale-up synthesis and process development.
The Atlas turbidity system can be used in procedures involving crystallisation where it is often essential to ensure downstream processes, such as solids handling, filtration, milling and drying, are consistent and effective.
