Asynt is to display a range of tools for the synthetic chemist at Achema 2009 in Frankfurt on 11-15 May.
Asynt offers solutions for key laboratory processes like synthesis, purification and evaporation.
The latest version of Asynt's Drysyn heating blocks can heat a reaction flask 25 per cent faster than an oil bath.
Used in combination with a standard hotplate stirrer, these blocks replace dangerous oil baths in the chemistry laboratory and offer heating performance up to 300C, a small footprint and good reaction visibility.
The full range of Drysyn products will be on display, including the Drysyn Cool systems that provide accurate temperature control down to - 30C without the need for jacketed reaction vessels or ice baths.
A safe and convenient way of handling larger-scale laboratory reactions is provided by the new Reactomate Super laboratory reactor system.
This combines all the technical features of the Reactomate CLR (controlled lab reactor) system with a new support system for ease of handling larger vessels and reaction volumes up to 30 litres.
Also on show will be enhancements to the Flowsyn continuous flow reactor from Uniqsis, Asynt's joint venture with Grant Instruments (Cambridge) .
Flow reactions can now be carried out at up to 260C and pressures up to 1000lb/in2 (70 bar).
At the other end of the temperature range, the 'Cold Tray' reactor module extends the system's working temperature range down to -40C.
Ideal for reaction optimisation studies, a Multiple Experiment Package integrates the Flowsyn reactor with a Gilson FC203B or FC204 fraction collector to produce a compact, cost-effective system capable of running up to 10 sequential experiments with different reaction times, temperatures and reagent ratios.
