  • Temperature probe holes
  • Universal hotplate compatibility
  • Uniform heat transfer
  • Customisable options
Product Variants
  • DrySyn Classic: For flasks from 25 mL to 1000 mL, with various adapter inserts.
  • DrySyn Scholar & Scholar Plus: Ideal for smaller volumes in academic settings.
  • DrySyn MAXI & Super MAXI: For larger flasks up to 5000 mL.
  • DrySyn MULTI: Allows parallel synthesis with interchangeable inserts for vials and flasks up to 500 mL.
  • DrySyn OCTO & OCTO Mini: Offers multiple parallel positions with magnetic stirring and gas-tight closure for inert atmospheres.
Advantages Over Traditional Methods
DrySyn blocks offer a safer, more efficient alternative to oil baths, reducing fire risk, contamination, and energy consumption, with better temperature control and easier maintenance.
Conclusion
Asynt's DrySyn range provides a versatile and innovative solution for laboratory heating and cooling, significantly improving safety and efficiency over traditional methods.
Additional Products
The document also details other Asynt products, including reaction vial inserts, evaporators, and temperature control systems designed for efficient and safe laboratory operations.
DrySyn Reaction Vial Inserts
These inserts allow evaporation of up to four samples simultaneously without bumping, effective for concentrating high boiling solvents like DMSO, DMF, NMP, and water without high temperatures, requiring a vacuum source and compatible with DrySyn MULTI Reaction Vial Inserts.
Evaporation Rates
A table shows evaporation rates for various solvents at different temperatures using the DrySyn system, highlighting methanol and ethanol's high rates at 26 ºC, while DMSO requires higher temperatures.
DrySyn SnowStorm Systems
These systems offer sub-ambient reactions from -30 to +150 °C, compatible with standard laboratory heater-chiller systems, allowing precise temperature control and easy reconfiguration without disrupting the thermal bath fluid.
DrySyn SnowStorm ONE and MULTI
The SnowStorm ONE is for single-position temperature control for flasks from 50 mL to 1000 mL, while the SnowStorm MULTI allows parallel reactions in flasks from 25 mL to 100 mL, both preventing ice formation and compatible with magnetic stirrer plates.
DrySyn Vortex
Designed for higher viscosity materials where magnetic stirring is insufficient, using a mechanical gearbox to convert the drive of an overhead stirrer motor into multiple shafts for powerful stirring.
CondenSyn Waterless Reflux Condenser
This product is robust, easy to clean, environmentally friendly, eliminates flood risks, and is available in various sizes for different flask capacities.
