Asynt has announced an agreement with Mettler-Toledo to integrate the latter’s RX-10 automation system with Asynt ReactoMate Controlled Laboratory Reactor (CLR) systems. The CLR systems enable precise control of reaction variables, simple manipulation of vessels and connected apparatus and safe working conditions. Compact in design, they offer the flexibility to accommodate reaction vessels from benchtop to pilot plant scale.

The Mettler-Toledo RX-10 automation system provides an interface connecting any type and volume of ReactoMate CLR to circulating thermostats, stirrer motors and sensors. This allows researchers precision automation, control and monitoring of chemical reactions and processes in the lab or kilo lab environment. The intuitive RX-10 touch screen automates the most commonly used unit operations; data acquisition utilising the automation system enables scientists to make informed decisions quickly.

Manufactured to strict quality standards, ReactoMate CLR systems are simple to set up and easy to use. The ReactoMate Datum system offers simple interchangeability with vessels from 250 up to 5000 mL. For larger scale reactions using a ReactoMate CLR system there is the Super Safe Support System, which enables easy raising and lowering of even heavy fully loaded vessels with a single hand.

A wide range of single and vacuum jacketed reaction vessels can be exchanged on ReactoMate CLR systems, allowing chemists to quickly change between reactor vessel sizes, thereby accelerating synthesis scale-up. A novel mounting mechanism ensures stability and alignment every time.

The CLR systems are compatible with leading brands of overhead stirrers. Built to operate over a wide temperature range from -70 to +220°C, they use a PT100 temperature probe linked directly to the heating/cooling circulator to ensure temperature control.
