Two new configurations for the Drysyn laboratory heating blocks add flexibility for pharmaceutical and process chemists, and provide synthetic chemistry solutions for the teaching laboratory.
The Drysyn Multi M and Multi S each provide a compact reaction station for up to three standard round-bottomed flasks, with maximum volumes of 250 and 500ml, respectively.
Any flask size down to 5ml can be used in either model with the appropriate inserts and both models can also accommodate up to 12 vials or tubes.
Used with a standard hotplate stirrer, these blocks replace dangerous oil baths in the chemistry laboratory and can heat a reaction flask 25 per cent faster than an oil bath.
Drysyn heating blocks offer heating performance up to 300C, a small footprint and high reaction visibility, and are fully compatible with magnetic stirring.
The three-way Multi Clamps make it quick and easy to secure flasks in place.
Existing Drysyn Multi users can use their Drysyn inserts in the Multi M and Multi S, as they are directly compatible.
Drysyn blocks are made of chemically resistant, 100-per-cent-recyclable aluminium and offer an alternative to heating mantles.
Drysyn's combination of safety and economy has made the concept particularly popular in teaching laboratories, where a single unit can provide heating facilities for several students.
