Thinking Flow Chemistry has to mean complicated and expensive setups? Think again.

Tube-in-Plate reactors offer a refreshingly simple approach to continuous flow.

Hello Liverpool! 👋🏼

Ready to rock ‘n’ roll, with all things Asynt, in the tearoom of the Chemistry Department at the University of Liverpool.

Come and have a sneaky peak at the MiniSpin. It’s the talk of the labs! 🧪 💚

From Newcastle-Upon-Tyne to Newcastle-Under-Lyme.

Asynt are ready to rock and roll again at Keele University for the @rsc.org’s 2nd Continuous Bioflow Network Annual Meeting.

Thanks Sebastian Cosgrove for the kind invitation to attend.

It’s Friday, let’s do this!

You can with the Spiral Evaporator, but that works on magnetic stirring www.asynt.com/product/drys...
DrySyn® Spiral Evaporator - Asynt
With BioChromato (Japan), Asynt have developed the DrySyn® Spiral Evaporator, allowing evaporation of up to 12 samples at a time in DrySyn synthesis blocks.
