Asynt Expands Parallel Stirrer Blender Range

Asynt

11/08/2015

The DrySyn Vortex family from Asynt has been expanded to now comprise three systems, all designed to stir or blend up to three reactions at one time, whilst heating or cooling.Stirring tasks are most often performed in laboratories using magnetic hotplate stirrers which couple to PTFE magnetic stirring bars in the reaction vessel. Disadvantages of magnetic stirrers include that they are not suitable for highly viscous liquids or for stirring / blending reactions that...

Asynt Launch Baffled Lab Reactor System

Asynt

20/05/2015

For a wide range of exothermic and large scale reactions - Asynt’s ReactoMate Baffled Controlled Lab Reactor system has been shown to improve reproducibility of results, increase selectivity and reduce potentially unwanted side reactions as a result of its ability to provide fast mixing and dispersion. By using specially designed PTFE baffle blades together with a PTFE turbine stirrer, Asynt is now able to offer scientists a new version of their 5000ml ReactoMate...

Hotplate Stirrers for Synthetic Chemistry

Asynt

26/02/2015

Asynt hotplate stirrers are designed to offer synthetic chemistry laboratories a combination of affordability, top build quality and high performance without compromising on safety.Manufactured in an ISO9001-2008 production facility, each Asynt hotplate stirrer incorporates two independent control circuits. The additional and independent safety circuit is for limiting the maximum heating plate temperature; this can be adjusted between 50 and 360 ºC but cannot be...

Gas Bubblers Provide Simple Visual Confirmation of Inert Atmosphere

Asynt

29/09/2014

Asynt has introduced a new range of Gas Bubblers that enable chemists to visibly confirm that their reaction system is being flushed with an inert gas such as nitrogen.A gas bubbler is an affordable piece of laboratory glassware which consists of a glass bulb filled with a small amount of fluid such as mineral or silicone oil. For use with reactions the inlet to the bulb is connected to a ground glass joint, while the outlet is vented to the air. Gas bubblers are used to...

Higher Performance from Vacuum Jacketed Reactor System

Asynt

04/06/2014

Asynt reports that its ReactoMate Reactor System, with glass vacuum jacket, offers outstanding thermal performance thereby improving control of reactions.By reducing heat loss / gain the glass vacuum jacket enables faster rates of heating and uses less energy to cool the system, also lower temperatures can potentially be achieved than vessels without a vacuum jacket. In addition the vacuum jacket provides excellent reaction visibility and reduces condensation –...

High Temperature Synthesis Using Heating Blocks

Asynt

19/05/2014

The School of Chemistry at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia reports how it is using Asynt DrySyn MULTI heating block systems to support its ground breaking synthetic research in photovoltaics, water splitting and nanoimaging. In order to improve safety in his laboratories, Leone Spiccia, Professor of Chemistry at Monash University sought laboratory apparatus to replace oil bath systems traditionally used for all general syntheses. He comments “After a...
