Syrris has introduced the Reactor Master for automating jacketed reactor systems and data logging without the need for any PC software.
Designed specifically for use with chemical synthesis equipment in chemical laboratories, this system can automate circulators or chillers, stirrers, thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) from virtually any manufacturer via the control knob.
Data can be viewed in real-time and exported for off-line data analysis.
Available in two different versions, the Reaction Master is suitable for a range of requirements.
The Reaction Master Basic is controlled using a multifunction knob, which allows set points, ramps or sophisticated profiles for temperature and stirring speed.
A compact design enables it to fit by the reactor system and all parameters, such as stirrer speed and torque, are displayed on the LCD screen in real-time.
This data is continually saved to one csv file, which can be exported via a USB stick.
The Reaction Master Pro incorporates all the benefits of the Basic model, along with a number of more advanced features.
Closed loop (PID) control of the circulator allows a uniform reaction temperature to be accurately maintained, minimising the chances of variability.
An entry-level data analysis PC software upgrade enables graphs to be generated with the click of a button.
Upgrading to the full PC software version allows complex recipe control, real-time data plotting and control of third-party hardware.
The Syrris Reactor Master is compatible with a wide range of thermoregulators, temperature sensors, overhead stirrers, pH meters and turbidity systems.
