DrySyn MiniSpin precision vial stirring system
Asynt, a leading innovator in sustainable and efficient benchtop synthesis tools, has launched its new DrySyn MiniSpin Precision Vial Stirring System. Engineered to work seamlessly with DrySyn Reaction Vial Inserts, the DrySyn MiniSpin heralds a new era of stirring precision for small-volume reactions.
This compact small-scale parallel magnetic overhead stirring platform is ideal for those working with challenging stirring conditions such as when working with high-viscosity materials. It also effectively eliminates grinding when using powders, compared to when using magnetic stirrer bars.
Delivering consistent mixing at micro-scale, the DrySyn MiniSpin provides the control and reproducibility that traditional overhead stirring systems are known for – now optimized for vial-scale reactions.
Key advantages for this new stirring system include:
- Tailored precision for small-scale reactions: The DrySyn MiniSpin is designed to accommodate readily available vials. This targeted compatibility ensures optimal mixing performance in small volume systems – a key requirement in reaction screening, method development, and high throughput experimentation.
- Ideal for reflux: The DrySyn MiniSpin can operate under reflux conditions.
- Sampling and additions: Both sampling and additions are possible via dedicated ports on the cap assembly.
- Vacuum and inert atmosphere: Keeps a seal under both vacuum and inert gas conditions.
- Complimentary to the DrySyn Vortex: DrySyn MiniSpin utilizes a similar principal to Asynt’s proven DrySyn Vortex parallel overhead stirring platform, but at a smaller scale.
- Wide range of options: Users can choose from a wide range of options for side arms, enabling the addition of reagents and sampling as required.
Dr. Kerry Elgie, commercial director for Asynt, commented, “The DrySyn MiniSpin takes parallel synthesis a step further, enhancing reproducibility and throughput in vial‑scale reactions. In reaction screening and discovery chemistry, every microlitre, and every stir, counts. The DrySyn MiniSpin delivers not just precision, but the scalability modern labs deserve”.
