Asynt’s DrySyn™ - the Industry Standard in Laboratory Heating

From heating a single flask to a creating a parallel sub-ambient reaction station, the Asynt DrySyn system has the flexibility and proven performance to satisfy a very wide range of temperature control requirements in the chemistry laboratory.

According to Martyn Fordham, Asynt’s Managing Director, over 25,000 DrySyn laboratory heating and cooling blocks have now been supplied world wide. “Since we introduced the DrySyn Classic in 2004, the market has endorsed this product range in the only way that matters”, said Fordham. “One pharmaceutical company alone has 600 systems. You only get that kind of loyalty if you deliver what the customer wants.”

A programme of continuous development has led to enhancements in both performance and capability. Design improvements have resulted in faster heating and cooling - the latest DrySyn versions are 25% faster than messy, dangerous oil baths and can heat a reaction flask to 300ºC. At the other end of the temperature range, a standard laboratory chiller supplies the cooling for the unique, recently patented DrySyn Cool. In independent tests, DrySyn Cool gave better temperature control, faster cooling (to -30ºC) and better ability to cope with exotherms than a conventional ice bath.

DrySyn systems are available for single or multiple reaction vessels with volumes from 1ml to 5000ml. They all combine a small footprint with excellent reaction visibility. All models are fully compatible with magnetic stirring, or the novel Vortex Overhead Stirrer System can provide powerful directly driven stirring for up to 3 flasks, improving performance with viscous mixtures and largely eliminating the grinding effects that can occur with magnetic stirrers on solids, especially crystals.
