Cambridge Reactor Design’s new Polar Bear Plus, due for launch early in 2012, raised a lot of interest at the recent SCI Process Development Symposium.
The Polar Bear Plus takes advantage of our advanced cooling technology and combines it with the ability to heat - no solvents, heat transfer fluids or ice are needed; just plug it in and set the desired plate temperature from -40 to +150C. Cooling, heating, temperature gradients or controlled ambient temperature are all readily achieved, thanks to the novel technology employed.
The Polar Bear Plus Flow Synthesiser, developed in conjunction with the Innovative Technology Centre at Cambridge University, was also on show at the exhibition. This, too accurately delivers temperatures from –40 to +150C.
The compact footprint of both these units make them ideal for every lab!
To find out more please take a look at the Polar Bear Plus brochure, the Polar Bear Plus Flow Synthesiser information sheet, or contact us.
CRD are pleased to announce that the Gastropod Gas Introduction Module for continuous chemistry applications is now available. Based on an original concept from the chemists at Cambridge University, the Gastropod uses semi-permeable membrane technology to improve contact between the gas and liquid phases. The module has been successfully demonstrated with a number of reactive gases, including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen and ozone, as well as with a wide range of solvents such as methanol, THF, dichloromethane and acetonitrile. Publications from the Ley group are in press and examples will be posted on our case studies page in due course.
Cambridge Reactor Design will be exhibiting their new Polar Bear Advanced Cooling Technology in Cambridge UK at the 28th SCI Process Development Symposium, 8-10 December 2010. If you’d like to achieve efficient cooling at the touch of a button, come and talk to us about your application.
