Syrris Atlas HD jacketed reactor systems with upgraded firmware

Syrris has upgraded the touchscreen firmware for its Atlas HD jacketed reactor systems to offer many of the automation features previously only available using the system’s PC-based control software. These automation options — such as pH-controlled and temperature-dependent dosing — add to the system’s existing functionality to offer even greater flexibility in protocol design.

The firmware upgrade expands the system’s touchscreen functionality, allowing users to review reaction protocols at a glance, monitor reactions with real-time data and graphing, and change reaction conditions on the fly. Experiment files are easily saved and shared between systems, improving batch-to-batch and site-to-site reproducibility. Safety features — such as alarms and automatic shutdown — provide true walk-away operation.

The system is used by R&D and process development chemists, many of whom want the convenience of being able to program their reactions directly on the system. The firmware upgrade thus makes Atlas HD a powerful, user-friendly option for batch chemistry research.
