Easy, accurate reaction heating AND cooling
8 May 2008Leading chemistry automation product innovator Syrris, has announced the launch of the new Atlas Hot and Cold Plate, the latest addition to the Atlas family of modular synthesis products. Fully compatible with a range of accessories, including the Atlas Stacking Dry Bath, Vial Baths and the Orbit Parallel Reaction Station, the Hot and Cold Plate provides an easy and accurate way of heating and cooling reactions in flasks or vials.
With an embedded Resistance temperature detector (RTD) allowing feedback of plate temperature, the Hot and Cold Plate can be accurately controlled from the Atlas Base. By connecting to a re-circulating heater/cooler the plate is able to provide control of a wide temperature range from -40°C to +160°C and the temperature can be fully logged and downloaded to a USB memory stick for offline analysis. Rapid, leak free connection is made possible with the Atlas Quick Circulator Connectors, enabling “tool-less” connection for ease-of-use. Furthermore, a built-in drip tray collects condensation and melting ice whilst the chemically resistant aluminium plate provides a “wipe clean” surface. For high quality magnetic stirring, the Atlas Magnetic Stirrer module screws directly into the Hot and Cold Plate for easy integration.
The new Hot and Cold Plate from Syrris forms part of the Atlas family of automated synthesis systems. For more information on Atlas and its extended family of products, please visit the article webpage.
