Parallel synthesizers
The Synthesis 1 concept allows for flexibility and highly efficient research in the field of parallel liquid and solid phase chemical synthesisChemical synthesis
In chemistry, chemical synthesis is purposeful execution of chemical reactions to get a product, or several products. This happens by physical and chemical manipulations usually involving one or more reactions...

Magnetic stirrers
Heidolph magnetic stirrers are used for smooth to intense mixing of low-viscosity fluids. Depending on the application, they are able to mix and heat at the same time. They are the first choice for decomposing organic and inorganic substances. MR Hei- Standard and MR Hei- End are a few models of the magnetic stirrer line where you can set the amount of heat and speed required for substance manipulation.Overhead stirrers
Overhead Stirrers, not to be confused with magnetic stirrers, are used for standard mixing of the higher viscosityViscosity
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear or tensile stress. In everyday terms , viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity...

Peristaltic pumps
The Peristaltic pumps are ideal for pumping corrosive, viscous and abrasive materials. Different tubing sizes and material allow for numerous applications. Peristaltic pumpPeristaltic pump
A peristaltic pump, or roller pump, is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing . A rotor with a number of "rollers", "shoes" or "wipers" attached to the external circumference...
