Syrris has introduced the new Reactor Master for automating jacketed reactor systems and data logging without the need for any PC software. Designed specifically for use with chemical synthesis equipment in chemical laboratories, this system can automate circulators or chillers, stirrers, thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) from virtually any manufacturer via the easy-to-use control knob. Furthermore, data can be viewed in real-time and exported for convenient off-line data analysis. Available in two different versions, the device is suitable for a range of requirements and budgets. A multifunction knob allows set points, ramps or sophisticated profiles for temperature and stirring speed. A compact design enables it to fit conveniently by the reactor system and all parameters, such as stirrer speed and torque are displayed on the LCD screen in real-time.
