Despite my lack of laboratory experience or chemistry knowledge (unlike our amazing sales team) I often get curious about the relative chemistry for the time of year and any big events on the calendar and with the sweet smell of flowers starting to tease my nose I wanted to find out why each blooms scent is so different.
We could tell you that this was a great opportunity to show off the amazing Asynt hotplate kit and tell you about the three separate safety circuits with a cut off at 360oC, fine control with the contact thermometer, and all the accessories that are included but really this was all about the pancakes!
Here at Asynt we are proud to be working alongside scientists at the Cambridge Drug Discovery Institute, providing the necessary equipment to aide their ground-breaking research. Find out more about what Dr Steve Andrews has been working on in aid of Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK).
We share our favourite tweet of the week that’s made us hungry!
“Cooking is a science and an art, and the man who puts all his heart into satisfying his fellow man deserves consideration” Auguste Escoffier 1846 – 1935. Dr Kerry Elgie takes us through her chemistry journey into cooking!
Our tweet of the week has been selected from @ChemistryWorld with new ways to separate oil and water. We love the funky video but there’s so much more to this report!
With the Paris and London fashion weeks happening just a couple of months ago, and the Pakistan fashion week commencing in November, it’s not only designers and fashionista gurus interested in fabric design and specifications.
If you look, you can find a way of bringing some chemistry fun and mayhem into all the big annual holidays! We bring the Asynt chemistry touch to Halloween…
Gunpowder or black powder was invented in China by alchemists experimenting with a naturally-occurring salt, potassium nitrate, also known as saltpeter. Ironically, they were looking for an elixir of immortality.
Back in the 1990’s I was involved in the “boom” and desire by many research chemistry leaders to make as many compounds as possible. Combinatorial chemistry was a huge buzz term. Read on to see how this affects the tools we now offer.
