The DrySyn Vortex family from Asynt has been expanded to now comprise three systems, all designed to stir or blend up to three reactions at one time, whilst heating or cooling.
Stirring tasks are most often performed in laboratories using magnetic hotplate stirrers which couple to PTFE magnetic stirring bars in the reaction vessel. Disadvantages of magnetic stirrers include that they are not suitable for highly viscous liquids or for stirring / blending reactions that have high amounts of solid which can often prove too much for the magnetic coupling. The DrySyn Vortex system was designed to enable scientists to perform multiple heated or cooled...

Princeton Chromatography Inc., world leaders in the development of novel and innovative SFC stationary phases, have published a new SFC & HPLC columns catalogue.
Princeton Chromatography were the first company to develop and market the popular 2-Ethylpyridine phase which was launched in 2001 and later the 4-Ethylpyridine phase. PrincetonSFC 2-Ethylpyridine has become the column of choice for achiral SFC analysis of basic compounds. This phase generally requires no addition of amines to the eluent, producing excellent peak shape and reproducibility.
Tecan has launched the next wave of innovation for the Fluent™ laboratory automation solution*, introducing a number of new hardware and software options that enable a much wider range of applications.
With the addition of a new air displacement Flexible Channel Arm, Fluent now offers the choice between two pipetting technologies for high definition liquid handling, unmatched precision and greater accuracy. These updates build on the success of the Fluent cell-based assay and compound management workstations, further simplifying key processes and increasing productivity in the lab, as well as being ideally suited to high throughput genomics applications.

Huber Kältemaschinenbau introduces the new Unistats ‘P’ for applications with high pressure drops.
Since 1980, Unistats are the leading technological solution for efficient temperature control in process engineering. The Unistat principle ensures maximum process reliability and process stability and guarantees reproducible temperature control results. Unistat pumps are purposefully designed so that a maximum circulation creates an as turbulent flow as possible, a large heat transfer coefficient (alpha value) and therefore a highly efficient heat transfer at the heat exchangers (evaporator and heater).
