Asynt

For those considering (or are unsure about) using electrochemistry methods for their research, Asynt's Cameron has compiled a useful article on "How to set up an electrochemistry series reactor". With useful tips, links to free on-demand webinars and info-sites, we'd recommend saving this article for reference! Contact us via enquiries@asynt.com if you'd like any further information or a chat about this topic.

If you're based in Malaysia and looking for lab equipment (including our waterless CondenSyn) Kemas Kurnia have a wide range of innovative Asynt tools available. They'll be happy to answer any questions or queries you have about the range.

It's Earth Science Week, an annual event that focuses on how geoscience significantly influences our lives in a wide variety of ways. This year's theme is "Earth Science Everywhere" so we thought we'd find some examples where Asynt's tools have been used for processes relating to Earth Science. This paper investigates the 'factors affecting the breakdown of plastics in the environment' using our DrySyn MULTI parallel heating blocks. This information is crucial in developing methods to reduce pollution: https://buff.ly/4f1rCP6 This paper, which was also researched with the use of DrySyn MULTI, further explores the study of polymer degradation and their environmental fate. https://buff.ly/4dHuNL0 #Sustainablechemistry #earthscienceweek #laboratorytools

With the nights drawing in and Halloween approaching, we have a few "spook-takular" things lined up to celebrate the season! Kerry Elgie has shared a shocking blog exploring some of the ways you can use chemistry to liven up your Halloween celebrations and make your house the place to be for trick-or-treat fans. Read via our website here: https://buff.ly/3ByyTaI Our favourite baking chemist, Joshua Smalley, has kindly invited us to join in with a suitably spooky extravaganza in the Science Kitchen at the University of Leicester - with ghoulish potions and much more, you'll look at your Asynt lab equipment in a whole new light! Follow us for more spooky surprises, coming soon... #halloweenchemistry #spookyscience #laboratorytools

Huge congratulations to David Baker "for computational protein design" and jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for "protein structure prediction" who have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Nobel Prize for Chemistry was first awarded in 1901 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel. Nobel wanted his legacy to recognize those who “have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” Ever since, the prize has celebrated discoveries that have transformed how we understand the world. The announcement shares further details on this years' awards: "The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 is about proteins, life’s ingenious chemical tools. David Baker has succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures. These discoveries hold enormous potential." You can see full details via the Nobel Prize feed here: https://buff.ly/3ZWZGYD As providers of laboratory equipment it is great to see these on going developments at the cutting edge of chemistry. #NobelPrize #Chemistry #cuttingedge

How do you set up an electrochemical series reactor? Cameron has put together a blog looking into this that you can find here: https://buff.ly/3zMinDs The blog looks at cell layout, specification, electrode material and accessories using Asynt's 6 position ElectroReact as an example. #Electrochemistry #ElectrolyticCell #LaboratoryTools

The rotary evaporator is an excellent tool for processes such as concentration, crystallization, drying, separation, and solvent recovery in the lab. IKA – Laboratory, Analytical and Process Technology have put together an easy-to-use online configurator for their comprehensive rotary evaporator range so you can simply select specifications to suit your chemistry to find your ideal model. Take a look at it here: https://buff.ly/4dv29MM If you have any questions about rotary evaporators or anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to get in contact with us. Our technical team will be happy to guide you through the configuration process. #EvaporationChemistry #LaboratoryTools #rotaryevaporators

Congratulations to Sevban Dogan Ekici for the Best Poster Prize at the recent #UKPETChem conference, along with her co-authors and team leader! We are proud to support those on their academic journey and excited to see what you do next, Sevban 💙 #PETCommunity #ChemistryNetworking #Carboranes

This is the last week before applications close for the Sustainable Laboratories Grant from the RSC. This (up to) £10,000 grant aims to make your research more sustainable and closes on 7 October 2024 at 2 pm UK time (BST). See full details via https://buff.ly/3Axz6dQ Many of Asynt's products, including the CondenSyn and DrySyn ranges, are well suited to this grant with their focus on eliminating the need for water for condensation and oil for heating. If you'd like to know more about the grant or these products please don't hesitate to get in touch. #SustainableChemistry #LaboratoryTools #SaveWater

If you're based in Malaysia and are interested in Asynt products get in touch with Kemas Kurnia. Here they explain some of the benefits of the DrySyn range.
