How does a Waterless Air Condenser Work?

Posted on: August 21, 2026

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

Tools for Heterogeneous Biocatalysis

Posted on: August 7, 2026

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?

This inaugural edition of Asynt Research Highlights celebrates the work of Omar Mohammad and colleagues at Aston University, who systematically modernised the classical Kolbe–Schmitt reaction for contemporary carbon utilisation research.

Overhead Stirring vs Magnetic Stirring

Posted on: July 24, 2026

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.

What is a Flow Chemistry Coil Reactor?

Posted on: July 10, 2026

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.
