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...

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).

Rapid and precise dispensing of aggressive and sensitive fluids is a critical requirement in many OEM applications and miniature component specialists LEE PRODUCTS have an outstanding reputation for developing solenoid valves which excel in these situations.
Their LFY2 Chemically Inert Solenoid Valve is a good example of this as a recent addition to their field-proven Y-Valve range. This 3-way inert, zero-dead volume solenoid valve features an innovative ‘Y’ internal flow design that reduces the internal volume to a total of just 12 micro-litres. This design also provides a clean, flushable flow path which reduces, or eliminates carry over between fluids and helps to protect fragile samples. In addition...
If you own or use an old PH or CFH series hydrogen generator from Peak Scientific, there’s never been a better time to upgrade to a next generation Precision series hydrogen model with our trade-in scheme.
Having now been discontinued, the venerable CFH and PH series hydrogen generators are no longer available directly from Peak Scientific, although we do continue to support existing customers with spare parts, maintenance and continuing [Peak Protected]™ service plans. However we cannot guarantee the long-term availability of spare parts into the future, and increasing running costs with age are always a risk... As is increasing likelihood of an unexpected breakdown.
Brookfield introduces an Automatic Gap Setting feature for the RST-CPS Touch™ Cone/Plate Rheometer.
Previously customers would use a dial indicator gauge to manually set the critical gap between the nose of the spindle cone and the plate of the instrument. Now the instrument can do it automatically! Brookfield’s Automatic Spindle Recognition System utilizes a barcode on the spindle shaft to identify the spindles cone diameter, angle and truncation value. The RST-CPS Touch reads the barcode and then automatically sets the gap to the proper truncation value for...
