Supercritical Fluid Technologies HPR-Micro Reactor
24 May, 2016The HPR-Micro Reactor is a high-pressure reactor for early exploratory research. It is suitable for research, process development and screening applications when reagents, catalysts or other essential materials are expensive or only available in a limited supply.
PDR-Separations chiral compounds separation range
12 April, 2016PDR-Separations has available a wide variety of products which are suitable for separating chiral compounds.
Biolin Scientific Q-Sense Initiator for measurement of surface-molecule interactions
01 April, 2016The Q-Sense Initiator enables surface scientists to gain access to Q-Sense technology at an entry level.
Electric fields as catalysts
04 March, 2016 by Adam FloranceScientists have harnessed static electricity, using an electron microscope as a kind of remote control, to increase the efficiency of the Diels-Alder reaction.
Vapour-based method for making crystals
18 December, 2015An international team of scientists has developed a method of producing crystals called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) — said to be the world's most porous materials — using vapour rather than liquid.
Your fingerprint can reveal whether you're male or female
01 December, 2015Researchers from the University at Albany are taking crime scene investigation to a new level with the discovery that our fingerprints can be used to identify whether the print belongs to a male or a female.
Anton Paar Multiwave PRO microwave reaction system software update
24 November, 2015Anton Paar's microwave reaction platform, the Multiwave PRO, is receiving a software update. The product is becoming an IoT (Internet of Things) device, enabling users to receive automated notification of completed runs and error reporting via email as well as remotely control the instrument using VNC.
Thermo Scientific Orion 3106 COD analyser
30 October, 2015The Thermo Scientific Orion 3106 COD analyser combines a digestion step with colorimetric analysis to measure the concentration of organic compounds that can affect water quality.
Chemists create a star-shaped molecule
29 October, 2015Chemists have created a star-shape molecule, previously thought to be too unstable to be made, in work which could lead to more efficient ways to make medicinal agents.
Chemistry can be a game
18 September, 2015ACE EdVenture Studio and Artoncode Indonesia have released ChemCaper — Petticles in Peril, which is said to be the world's first chemistry role playing game (RPG).
Hach QbD120 laboratory TOC analyser
25 August, 2015The Hach QbD1200 laboratory total organic carbon (TOC) analyser implements the UV/persulfate oxidation method, which combines acid and oxidiser into a single reagent.
Copper zeolite converts methane to methanol
08 July, 2015A newly developed bio-inspired zeolite may pave the way to small-scale 'gas-to-liquid' technologies which convert natural gas to fuels and starting materials for the chemical industry.
