The compact Orbit module has been designed with flexibility in mind and readily fits the Atlas Hotplate, Hot and Cold Circulator Plate or any regular third party equivalent.
Orbit can accommodate different numbers of tubes, and with a wide temperature range it allows reactions to be heated to 280C with reflux or cooled to -40C.
Reactions are magnetically stirred in an inert atmosphere, and as all operations are tool-free, the Orbit is a safe and easy-to-use synthesis station.
Available in two different sizes, Orbit can accommodate up to six 45ml tubes or twelve 10ml tubes.
Sharing the innovative design and operational simplicity of Atlas, Orbit incorporates a quick, twist-and-click lid seal which when closed, immediately applies an inert atmosphere to all tubes.
When the Orbit lid is removed, the septa are automatically re-sealed and the tubes are free to be safely transported.
Furthermore, the septa covering each vessel are reusable and simply replaced facilitating easy reagent addition and improving cost efficiency.
Additionally, as a convenient, hassle-free solution, Orbit's unique design allows the gas and water supplies to remain connected to the reflux unit and the rack of tubes to be removed independently. Request a free brochure from Syrris ...
