Syrris, a chemistry automation supplier, has introduced the Atlas Parallel Systems for complete process control.
The multi-position reactor stations for up to eight jacketed reactors or round-bottomed flasks offer full, independent control and logging of all reaction parameters.
Controlled from a single PC, temperature, stirrer speed, pH, dosing, heat flow and turbidity can be monitored simultaneously, making it suitable for process optimisation.
A selection of Atlas Parallel Systems are available, including: the Parallel Atlas Lithium which automates heating and cooling in round bottomed flasks or vials with magnetic stirrers; the Parallel Atlas Sodium for overhead stirring and temperature control; and the Parallel Atlas Potassium for jacketed reactions from 50ml to 5l.
The Atlas Potassium system forms the basis of a number of additional systems, including those for turbidity, pH monitoring and control, calorimetry, and FT-IR analysis.
The systems can also be separated for individual use, where they are controllable from the front panel or using a PC.
The oil-drain unit, vessel-clamp and quick-oil connectors allow the jacketed vessels to be changed quickly and easily without tools.
The Atlas Parallel Software allows quick and easy configuration of apparatus via the drag-and-drop interface, allowing different workflows to be created, changed and saved as required.
It provides complete system control, configuration and analysis through its ability to open multiple instances of the Atlas Software.
With the ability to define the system in use, setpoints, ramps or sophisticated profiles can be set-up for each individual reactor with corresponding alarms and emergency control.
Experiments can be paused and modified in real time and the resulting data from all systems can be viewed and saved to one common .csv file.
