High pressure chemistry is key to a range of processes that would be far more difficult, or impossible under normal atmospheric conditions. Operating at these elevated temperatures and pressures, with often highly reactive chemicals requires specialised materials and designs.
Numerous variables play a key role in photochemical reactions: wavelength, light intensity, time, temperature, stoichiometry and more.
A waterless air condenser is a condenser that uses the shape of the glassware to induce condensation. The heat is then carried away by air convection
Biocatalysis is becoming an increasingly important tool for chemists looking to develop efficient and selective chemical processes. But what happens when your biocatalyst is a solid, and what equipment can you use to get the most out of it?
Mixing is crucial to a huge range of chemical processes. Across this range, different applications require different equipment. Magnetic stirring and overhead stirring are two of the most prominent solutions, and each is suited to different types of process.
Aston Univeristy Use Asynt Quadracell High Pressure Reactor for Research Into Salicylic Acid Production
Modular coil reactor heaters can be thought of as the flow chemistry equivalent of the magnetic stirrer hotplate. With the correct coil reactor it provides precise heating over the full length of the flow reactors volume, through which your homogeneous reactants are pumped.
Asynt visited the Cresswell group at the University of Bath’s Chemistry Department, to film their labs and interview some of the students using Asynt equipment for their research. Here are the videos from our visit.
Single position high pressure reactors are a useful tool for chemists looking to carry out reactions under high pressures, whether for hydrogenations, carbonations, catalysis, polymerisation, or a range of other pressure chemistry applications.
Professor Mathias O. Senge’s research group at Trinity College Dublin focuses on the synthesis and application of porphyrins, an important class of macrocyclic compounds widely used across biomedical, materials and photochemical sciences.
