PolyBLOCK | Compact Automated Parallel Synthesis Platform
Key Features
– 4 or 8 Independent reaction zones
– Independent temperature control (100 °C difference between zones, temperature range of -60 °C to +225 °C)
– Independent agitation control (250 to 1500 rpm, suspended mechanical or overhead stirring available)
– Small footprint – no larger than a typical laboratory notebook
– Use any combination of reaction vessels on one platform
– Intuitive control software with choice of interfaces
Designed to maximize your laboratory’s productivity, parallel synthesis technologies with PolyBLOCK is easy to use, flexible and compact multi-reactor system.
With either four (PolyBLOCK 4) or eight (PolyBLOCK 8) independently controlled and monitored zones, PolyBLOCK 4 offers working volumes of up to 500 ml and PolyBLOCK 8 up to 120 ml. Reactor options range from 1 ml HPLC vials to round or flat-bottom flasks up to 250 ml and custom reaction vessels up to 500 ml.
Agitation in each zone is independently controlled and temperature monitoring and control is offered with either reactor and/or zone temperature.
