Flexible Parallel Synthesis

John Morris Scientific is delighted to launch a new parallel synthesis solution from Heidolph Instruments. The new Synthesis 1 is a modular system can perform solid and liquid phase reactions as well as micro-rotary evaporations.

The system can accommodate up to 24 vessels and the temperature range can be set anywhere from 160°C down to -80°C. The reaction block is split up into 4 individual segments that each has individual temperature or temperature ramp settings.

The solid phase module comes with chemically resistant PFA vessels that provide full visual access to the reaction. All modules and accessories can be interchanged to meet the user's particular needs.

Parallel Synthesis System Synthesis 1 (A design concept incorporating three configurations):

1. Parallel solid phase synthesis
2. Parallel liquid phase synthesis
3. A multiple evaporator

General Advantages

• Modular system for specific applications
• Exceptional stability and smooth shaking due to tube attachment design
• Clear visibility of all synthesis tubes due to circular design
• Septa design prevents unintentional opening
• Septa resistant against acids due to PTFE coating
• Allows for inert atmosphere or a vacuum with individual valves for each sample
• Four heating zones with individual heat control
• Temperature ramping can be programmed with up to nine steps
• Built-in process timer allows for unattended operation
• 3 year, no-fuss warranty on non-consumable parts

Advantages of solid phase system

• Quick and easy access to synthesis tubes
• Synthesis tubes feature valves and eliminate the need for using needles
• Easy access for cleaning and filter replacement
• Irrigation and recovery of product under vacuum (no positive pressure)

Advantages of liquid phase system

• No counter contamination due to separate caps on all synthesis tubes
• Conventional glass synthesis tubes with GL-thread
• Allows for evacuation and inert atmosphere
• Allows for an upgrade to a Multi Evaporator at a minimal cost

Advantages of multiple evaporator

• Fast evaporation
• Simple switch from liquid phase to evaporation
