Parallel Reactions - Smaller Footprint, Greater Safety

Cambridge UK - The DrySyn Multi family of reaction blocks from Asynt saves precious laboratory space while at the same time dispensing with dangerous, messy oil baths. Using these novel devices, any standard hotplate stirrer can be instantly converted to a modular, flexible reaction station capable of running up to 3 parallel reactions in conventional round-bottomed flasks or 12 in tubes or vials.

The DrySyn Multi concept was developed in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry at Cambridge University, and many units are now in use world wide. All models can accommodate reaction volumes as low as 10ml, the maximum volume can be 100ml, 250ml or 500ml depending on the model. Direct heat transfer gives rapid heating – up to three times faster than a conventional oil bath – with accurate temperature control up to 250° C and efficient magnetic coupling ensures powerful stirring in all configurations. An optional temperature probe can give even greater temperature accuracy.

Asynt MD Martyn Fordham said "DrySyn Multi units are in use in many labs around the world, but people are still excited when they see it for the first time – it's such an elegant, compact solution to two universal laboratory problems – saving space and improving safety."
