Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched its Stem Integrity 10 reaction block for determining compound solubility.
This 10-channel detection system accurately maintains conditions within each individual cell.
With 10 independent temperature control zones, ranging from -30 to 150C, temperature is maintained by either the block itself or by using a probe within the solution.
A temperature stability of +/- 0.2C and a minimal setpoint overshoot of 0.1C is said to guarantee accuracy.
Each cell has wide stirring control of 250rpm to 1,200rpm and a working volume between 2ml and 25ml.
Controlled via the integrated microprocessor using a touch screen, operation is said to be safe and easy.
The Integrity 10 solubility and crystallisation software provides full data logging of all key parameters, such as temperature and stirrer speed, using PC control.
Experimental records and data are clearly displayed for convenient, at-a-glance monitoring of in-cell conditions.
With real-time editing of ramp rates, run times and setpoints, all data can be exported for further analysis.
Additionally, data banks can be produced for simple storage and retrieval of frequently used protocols.
