Liquids dosing system can be controlled directly

Laboratory chemistry automation specialist Syrris has launched the Atlas Syringe Pump for volumetric dosing of liquids. The pump can be controlled directly, using an intuitive twist-and-click system, or remotely using the manufacturer’s Atlas base or Atlas PC software for intelligent, automated reagent addition and advanced flow profiles.

The pump consists of two syringes, with six-port valves, that can be configured to operate individually or together. A choice of dosing modes allows both simple reagent additions and the active control of pH or temperature. The system can also be set to pause the pump if the reaction exceeds a preset threshold temperature or pH value. The Atlas Syringe Pump has good chemical compatibility, and a flowrate range of 0.5 µl–10 ml/min. It can be supplied as part of the Atlas Potassium, a jacketed reactor system including overhead stirring and temperature control. Other Syrris products include the FRX, a low-cost flow chemistry system, and Africa (Automated Flow Reaction Incubation and Control Apparatus), a modular system for library synthesis, aqueous work-up and reaction optimization. Other, more general, productivity tools for chemists are the Atlas automated chemistry system and the Lara Controlled Lab Reactor system.
