A 100 mL round bottomed flask containing 50 mL of a given solvent was heated to a temperature 10% higher than the stated boiling point of the solvent for 24 hours under bubbling nitrogen gas. ….”
We can’t resist a bit of cool chemistry paraphernalia and this unique custom-made chemistry flask / tea pot hybrid that was specified by Dr Ffion Abraham is up for grabs for one lucky Asynt customer!
On 27th and 28th February, 2017, many of the greatest organic chemists from the UK will be gathering at “OrgSyn” to speak. Find out more!

Asynt joined partners, BioChromato, and many of our distribution partners at Analytica, the international trade fair in Munich, Germany last week. We showed off the Smart Evaporator, the NEW DrySyn Spiral Evaporator and discussed the upcoming new products available from our catalogue soon!
Tall ship, the Mary Rose, was lost to the ocean depths in July, 1945. Amongst the traditional tools used to preserve her heritage were some innovative new ones too, such as the freeze dryer.
The world of chemistry needs innovators and creators and I’m so glad to have learned more about Sir Harry Kroto, who would have absolutely met this criteria! Find out more about my discoveries here.
We will be displaying the BioChromato Smart Evaporator and consumables in addition to the NEW DrySyn Spiral Evaporator at Analytica 2016 this week.
It is with great respect that we would like to offer our best wishes for a wonderful 90th birthday to her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
We hope that you’ll join us in welcoming Dr Ffion Abraham to the Asynt team! Working alongside the existing sales team, Ffion is also an avid Evertonian and keen football and cricket fan!
