Asynt has launched PressureSyn, a 125ml working volume high pressure reactor that combines performance, ease of use and operational safety for users.
Designed by chemists and engineers at the University of Nottingham, UK, PressureSyn reactors are suitable for stirred or non-stirred, high pressure applications including hydrogenations, carbonylations, catalyst screening and polymerisations.
Precision-engineered from traceable certified 316 stainless steel, safety features of PressureSyn include a bursting disk and pressure relief valve. The reactors also feature a unique bracket and key-operated locking system ensuring easy assembly.
The clamping arrangement also prevents the clasp from being disassembled whilst the reactor is still under pressure.
Each reactor’s locking collar has a unique key which can only be used to open that specific individual reactor.
With customer safety paramount, each PressureSyn reactor is tested to 170bar, witnessed and certified by Zurich Insurance, and is rated for use up to a maximum pressure of 100bar and temperature of 200°C.
A DrySyn adapter plate ensures secure placement of the PressureSyn to any standard hotplate stirrer, giving enhanced heat transfer and the ability to control temperature from the stirrer’s temperature probe.
An optional PTFE reduction adapter/sleeve is available for small volume chemistry.
