COOLING flow chemistry reactions below about -70C has traditionally presented challenges in the laboratory, requiring the use of pressurised gas and heat exchangers. Now Uniqsis says it has developed an advanced chiller unit, the FlowSyn Polar Bear, which works with…

Log CO2, temperature, and RH simultaneously
THE SIMULTANEOUS measurement and recording of three environmental factors – CO2 concentration, temperature, and humidity – can be performed automatically on the new TR-76Ui-H data logger from TandD. This three-channel recorder offers temperature measurement accuracy of +/-0.3C from 10C to 40C, and…
Enclosures improve testing accuracy of thermally sensitive electronics
A NEW line of thermal test enclosures makes possible the accurate testing and processing of temperature sensitive electronic products with SP Scientific’s ThermoJet ES precision temperature cycling system. Developed in conjunction with Khoury Industries, the thermal enclosures are available in clamshell…
Dry bath operates at two temperatures at once
THE NEW EchoTherm IC22XT digital chilling/heating dry bath from Torrey Pines Scientific can run two separate temperatures and two different sample blocks at the same time, effectively making it two heating/cooling blocks in one. The IC22XT can be used in…
Maintaining charpy impact specimens at precise temperature
A LOW temperature bath that provides metallurgists and testing laboratories with precise temperature control when cooling specimens for impact testing has been launched by SP Scientific. The new CharpyCool has one of the smallest footprints on the market, the company…
Scaling-up production of functionalised silicas
TURNAROUND time and batch-to-batch efficiency have been improved at Phosphonics, while scaling-up production of its range of functionalised silicas, using a specially adapted Asynt 20litre ReactoMate reactor system. Phosphonics, based in Abingdon, UK, has developed a range of functionalised silicas…
Protein crystallisation studies rely on temperature stage
TRADITIONAL methods for growing protein crystals are by microplate sitting-drop crystallisation, or hanging-drop methods based on vapour diffusion. These yield a limited number of crystals, but usually enough for biological research. At the Institute for Particle Science and Engineering at…
Putting the heat into crystallisation method development
A CUSTOM Asynt dry heating block is currently in use at the Wilson structural chemistry research group at the University of Bath, UK, is a project to simplify and accelerate crystallisation method development. The researchers are selectively controlling polymorph formation,…
Keeping cool in crystallisation studies
CRYSTALLISATION studies and screening of polymorphs needs stable sub-ambient temperatures, traditionally provided by ice baths and jacketed reaction vessels. This approach can be messy in the laboratory, requires a supply of ice, and is limited to temperatures around freezing (0C).…
Custom heating block boosts lab productivity
THE ADOPTION of a custom UPLC heating block has improved productivity as well as producing more accurate and repeatable thermal stability measurements at a leading European contract research organisation (CRO), reports Asynt. The organisation had previously used an offline source…
