The Atlas modular automated laboratory reactor from Syrris is designed specifically for research and development chemists.
The company said the reactor is easy to use and performs processes such as reactions in jacketed reactors, round-bottom flasks, pressure reactors or vials.
The Atlas lab reactor can be scaled in three ways: by volume (1ml to five litres); automation level (manually controlled or full automated laboratory reactor); and number of reactions (single or parallel reactors).
It is fast and easy to change configuration from one to another without the need for tools.
At the heart of the Atlas system is the Atlas base, which contains a computer with chemically-resistant mechanical and electronic connections.
The base can monitor sensors and control process parameters such as temperatures, pH, turbidity, stirrer speed, and reagent addition.
