UK company Asynt has launched the DrySyn Multi COOL, a system that provides fully controlled, low temperature chemistry for reactions in parallel.
The company says DrySyn Multi COOL not only saves space and time in the laboratory, but also eliminates the need for difficult to control conventional ice baths and expensive, bulky and easily breakable jacketed reaction vessels. A robust, anodised, aluminium construction means the DrySyn Multi COOL will withstand the rigours of daily laboratory use and varied temperature protocols.
The system consists of a cooling base plate and inserts which can accommodate up to three 100 ml standard laboratory round-bottomed flasks. The exchange of glassware is achieved within seconds without disrupting the thermal fluid flow, offering time saving and safety advantages over glass jacketed reaction vessels, to manufacturer says.
Sub-ambient chemistry, down to -30ºC, can be performed for prolonged periods of time without fluctuations in temperature. The unit is compatible with any laboratory circulator chiller unit and for agitation it is designed to fit on a standard magnetic stirrer.
