Research into the fluid dynamics of fine particulate materials at the department of chemical engineering at Imperial College London is set to benefit from a customised laboratory reactor system from Asynt. With a bespoke glass reactor vessel, ReactoMate Datum support…
MANY laboratory processes and reactions can be operated effectively at the micro scale, taking advantage of the growing usefulness of microfluidic technologies and micro-reactors. But many real-world operations involve suspended solids or other particles, which make micro-technologiess ineffective because the…
A compact new benchtop laboratory reactor from Asynt has the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of reaction vessels, with volumes from just 100ml to five litres. The ReactoMate Datum is a controlled lab reactor (CLR) that allows chemists to…
INSTALLATION of a nitrogen generator in the laboratory has improved workflow and reduced delays at a Nottingham-based chiral separations company, says gas generator manufacturer Asynt. Reach Separations specialises in chiral chromatography for the analysis and purification of small molecules. The…
A SAFER, more productive method of heating samples in a variety of laboratory glassware is the promise of the DrySyn Multi from Asynt. This device converts any standard laboratory hotplate stirrer into a reaction block which can accommodate up to three…
MANY laboratory samples are sensitive to degradation by light, presenting particular challenges in handling and storage. Now Asynt has launched a new range of black screw-top centrifuge tubes which will solve this problem for many users, providing secure storage of…
A COMMON practice when multiple condensers are deployed in laboratory fume cupboards is to daisy-chain the devices in series. This can be effective, but means that the chilling effect of the water is not uniform. Asynt says its water manifold…
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…
DESIGNED to be used in conjunction with a simple benchtop magnetic stirrer or stirrer/hotplate, the Asynt Parallel High Pressure Reactor is described as a cost-effective lightweight unit suitable for stirred or non-stirred applications. The reactor can be configured to suit…
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,…
