John Morris Scientific has introduced a range of solvent purification systems from Innovative Technologies.
The Pure Solve system eliminates thermal distillation risks associated with heating mantles or hotplates and flammable solvents, the risk of explosion from incorrect sodium storage and handling, and the risk of flood with unsupervised, water-cooled distillation apparatus.
The system operates by passing room-temperature solvent through activated columns using cylinder nitrogen as a pressure source.
The system effectively removes water and oxygen to produce dry, de-oxygenated high-purity solvents on tap.
Innovative Technologies offers three systems in the Pure Solve range.
The Pure Solv-Micro is suitable for researchers with modest requirements for a single anhydrous solvent who prefer the convenience of having a solvent drying and dispensing station of their own.
The Micro is designed for mounting on a benchtop, flammable storage cabinet, or inside an existing fume hood.
The Pure Solv-MD (multiple dispensing system) is suitable for laboratories with multiple researchers who require easy access to more than one anhydrous solvent.
There are three standard frame sizes that can be populated from two to seven solvents.
The Pure Solv-EN system is fully enclosed inside a 90 minute fire safety cabinet, which meets the performance requirements for storing flammable liquids.
The EN minimises fire risks associated with the storage of flammable substances.
It also minimises the amount of vapour released into the working environment and the retention of accidental spillage within the cabinet.
