The Asynt CondenSyn is a new high performance air condenser for synthetic chemistry experiments that requires no cooling water for operation.
Organisations are growing increasingly concerned about both the environmental impact and indeed the cost of running a research facility. A condenser is often required for synthetic experiments and therefore an essential tool for the research chemist. Whilst condensers cooled by a circulating fluid such as water are effective, their constant need for running tap water creates an environmental and cost issue. Consequently such condensers should ideally be attached to a recirculating chiller...
Porvair Sciences glass vial storage plate combines 96 borosilicate glass vials of 700µl into a rigid polypropylene carrier microplate to provide a superior product for storage and transportation applications.
