Judged by an independent panel of industry experts, Asynt was chosen as the winner of the Lions’ Lair competition at the recent Lab Innovations 2014 exhibition and conference at the NEC, Birmingham, UK.
Asynt's winning product, PressureSyn, is a high-pressure reactor designed to work on any magnetic hotplate stirrer. The in-built safety features comprise a double pressure relief system including bursting disk and pressure relief valve. Precision engineered in the UK from 316 stainless steel, each 125ml PressureSyn reactor is certificated and rated to a maximum pressure of 100bar and temperature of 200°C. The reactors feature a bracket and key operated locking system ensuring easy assembly. Beneficially, this novel clamping arrangement also prevents the clasp from being disassembled whilst the reactor is still under pressure. Each reactor's locking collar has a unique key that ensures only that key can be used to open that specific individual reactor.
The Asynt PressureSyn saw off stiff competition from Cleaver Scientific, Spex Certiprep and Metrohm, which all pitched their newest technologies to an expert panel of judges, in front of a live audience at the show.
