Asynt Makes an Impact at ACHEMA

A unique range of tools for the synthetic chemist will be on display at the Asynt booth at Achema 2009, (Frankfurt, 11th to 15th May). Asynt Ltd (Cambridge, England) is a specialist company that offers novel solutions for key laboratory processes like synthesis, purification and evaporation.

The latest version of Asynt’s very popular DrySyn® heating blocks can heat a reaction flask 25% faster than an oil bath. Used in combination with a standard hotplate stirrer, these blocks conveniently replace dangerous oil baths in the chemistry laboratory and offer excellent heating performance up to 300ºC, a small footprint and excellent reaction visibility. The full range of DrySyn products will be on display including the DrySyn COOL systems that provide accurate temperature control down to –30°C without the need for jacketed reaction vessels or ice baths.

An elegant, safe and convenient way of handling larger-scale laboratory reactions is provided by the new ReactoMate Super laboratory reactor system. This combines all the technical features of the successful ReactoMate CLR (Controlled Lab Reactor) system with a new and very stylish support system for ease of handling larger vessels and reaction volumes up to 30 litres.

Also on show will be important enhancements to the FlowSyn™ Continuous Flow Reactor from Uniqsis, Asynt’s joint venture with Grant Instruments (Cambridge) Ltd. Flow reactions can now be carried out at up to 260ºC and pressures up to 1000psi (~70 Bar). At the other end of the temperature range, the new “Cold Tray” Reactor Module extends the system’s working temperature range down to -40°C.
Ideal for reaction optimisation studies, a new Multiple Experiment Package integrates the FlowSyn reactor with a Gilson FC203B or FC204 fraction collector to produce a very compact, cost-effective system capable of running up to 10 sequential experiments with different reaction times, temperatures and reagent ratios.

Asynt will be in Hall 6.2 at ACHEMA, stand F22.
