Reaction Station

A new independently researched and written technical report, available from Radleys concludes that the Metz Syn reaction station shows great potential for applications in microbiological research. The reaction station is a compact, simple to operate instrument offering the facility to simultaneously carry out up to 10 reactions, with variable heating, cooling, refluxing and stirring, from 30°C to +150°C. In the context of microbiological research the report demonstrates the main benefit of the reaction station over conventional incubators is its exceptional control of temperature gradients, and the ability for different experimental profiles to be run simultaneously. The instrument is also shown to perform complex temperature profiles, which should enable diurnal temperature changes to be simulated.
