Vial and Round Bottom Flask Systems

A variety of dry bath options fit onto the hotplate and magnetic stirrer for single round bottom flasks or parallel flasks or vials are available with the standard Atlas base. For cooled reactions, the hotplate can be removed and a cold plate fitted.

The Stacking Atlas Dry Bath has concentric cups allowing round bottom flasks from 50ml to 1 litre to be heated or cooled.

A triple dry bath is available for flasks from 50ml to 250ml and the Atlas Vial Baths can conveniently heat or cool a wide range of reaction vials. The Atlas Orbit can heat 6 or 12 reaction tubes with a reflux in an inert atmosphere. The base can automatically run reaction profiles and add reagents.

Orbit Systems

The Orbit from Syrris is a high performance, low cost parallel synthesis module for research and development chemistry. 6 or 12 reaction tubes can be magnetically stirred in an inert atmosphere and be heated to 280°C (hotplate temperature to 280°C) with reflux or cooled to –40°C. Orbit fits conveniently on the Atlas Hotplate, Atlas Hot and Cold Plate or regular hotplates.

• Parallel chemistry: Up to 6 x 45ml tubes (25ml max working volume) or 12 x 10ml tubes (3.5ml max working volume).
• Easy to use: Twist and click lid seals all the reaction tubes simultaneously. All operations are tool-free.
• Inert atmosphere: One inert gas supply is distributed to all reaction tubes.
• Wide temperature range: Heat reactions up to 280°C (hotplate temperature to 280°C) or cool down to -40°C.
• Convenient: The water and gas supplies stay connected to the reflux unit allowing the rack of tubes to be removed independently.
• Safe: Cool wall surrounds heated area.
• Easy reagent addition: A reusable and easily replaceable septum covers each reaction vessel.
• Compact size: Fits conveniently on a hotplate.
• Robust: Specifically designed for use in chemical laboratories.
• High performance: Efficient reflux condenser and magnetic stirring.

Orbit features

The Atlas Orbit is available in two sizes: 6 tubes (24mm Ø, 45ml) and 12 tubes (13mm Ø, 10ml). Each tube size has a corresponding cap with septum. The novel nature of the Orbit means that as the Orbit lid is clicked in place, the inert atmosphere is applied to all the tubes simultaneously.

When the lid is removed, the septa are automatically re-sealed and the tubes are free to be transported. The unique design also allows the gas and water supplies to remain connected to the reflux unit whilst the tubes are transported in the Orbit.

Three Orbit systems are available each enabling “off the shelf” operation. Each includes the Orbit module with lid and Reflux Unit and consumables including reaction vessels, septa, caps, stirrers.
