Laboratory Products 41 Entry Level Flow Reactor


The fReactor from Asynt is an affordable device created to bring the many advantages of flow chemistry to your laboratory through easy-to-use, flexible and intuitive design.


Developed in collaboration with chemists and chemical engineers from the renowned Institute of Process Research and Development (iPRD) at the University of Leeds, the fReactor is simple to assemble and modify, making it suitable for a wide range of continuous-flow processes.


With the fReactor, just add a hotplate and pump and you are ready to start investigating flow chemistry experiments. Because of its’ low price and total operating volume of just 10ml, the fReactor is an ideal device for laboratories wanting to evaluate the many advantages of small-scale flow chemistry.


Integrating the efficiency of pipe-flow processing with the advanced mixing of a continuous stirred tank reactor, the fReactor provides chemists with a versatile “plug- and-play” setup allowing exploration of continuous-flow processing, with little expertise required.


The fReactor platform comprises of 5 modules, which combine to give a reaction zone delivering a good residence time distribution. These interconnected modules are located on a metal heat-transfer baseplate which sits on conventional laboratory hotplate-stirrer. With mixing in each zone, the fReactor offers outstanding flow chemistry reaction flexibility. Multiple ports allow telescoping of reactions, sampling or integration of sensors within the reactors. Robustly constructed, the fReactor is both easy to use and simple to clean.

Pathogen Reduction Device Shows Efficacy Against Virus Causing COVID-19 in Plasma and Platelets Data from a new study suggests that a medical device that uses vitamin B2


and ultraviolet light for treating human blood products is effective against the virus


that causes COVID-19. The study results, generated by Terumo BCT in collaboration with top researchers from Colorado State University, have been accepted for publication by Vox Sanguinis, a peer-reviewed medical journal covering haematology.


Blood is considered vital medicine, and it is the backbone of the healthcare system. While there is no evidence that blood transfusions transmit COVID-19, some blood centres are using Mirasol to treat platelets and plasma as an additional layer of safety.


In some parts of the world, healthcare providers also treat convalescent plasma with Mirasol. The International Society for Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Global Blood Safety Working Party recommends, where feasible, pathogen inactivation of plasma to control residual risks of transfusion transmitted infection diseases and to ally concern about possible super infections with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.2


Using riboflavin (vitamin B2 ) and ultraviolet light, Mirasol is designed to reduce the pathogen load of various disease-causing agents such as viruses, parasites and bacteria in blood products before they are transfused to patients. Mirasol also inactivates white blood cells to help reduce certain transfusion reactions.


“Mirasol is one of the tools we are using to help equip healthcare providers in their fight against COVID-19,” said Antoinette Gawin, President and Chief Executive Officer, Terumo BCT. “We are deploying our existing innovations to benefit as many patients as possible.”


Mirasol is CE marked for platelets, plasma and whole blood and is in routine use in more than 20 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America. The system is not approved for sale in the US and Canada. There are no approved devices or therapies for specific treatment of COVID-19. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/Q0an

New Rotor Mill Offers Variable Speed for Optimal Sample Grinding


The Fritsch Variable Speed Rotor Mill PULVERISETTE 14 premium line offers impact, shearing and cutting comminution in one instrument, with a higher performance, better cooling and significantly less noise than comparable instruments. Its powerful motor is ideal for the particularly fast comminution of soft to medium-hard, brittle as well as fibrous materials and temperature-sensitive samples with an extremely fast sample throughput, which can be further increased by the use of the Fritsch Cyclone separators.


The instrument provides powerful grinding with 22,000 rpm with the impact rotor for particularly fast sample throughput of < 15 mm up to 15 l/h and more. A final fineness down to d50 < 40 µm, sieve rings 0.08 - 6 mm is achieved with particularly good cooling of the grinding material. Both batch-wise or continuous grinding is made possible with the Fritsch Cyclone separators.


The Intelligence-Safety-Control-System automatically checks the components of the grinding set - labyrinth disk for impact or cutting rotor, collecting vessel with lid - for completeness and correct insertion. Even the Fritsch Vibratory Feeder LABORETTE 24 for automatic feeding is detected by the programme. The grinding starts only when all the parts are fully and correctly inserted and the instruments lid is properly locked.


The well-conceived Clean Design covers all the areas, which make the cleaning of your mill as easy as possible: All the surfaces are designed to be extremely dirt-resistant and easy to clean. And all the parts that need regular cleaning can be removed with a single motion without tools and can be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath or in the dishwasher. Furthermore, the innovative laser welding of the sieve rings enables due to less dead spaces a significantly easier cleaning, as well as greater stability and longer service life.


Combine your PULVERISETTE 14 premium line with a Cyclone for sample exhaustion. The powerful airflow ensures simple feeding, increases throughput, and reduces the thermal load of the samples which is ideal for continuous comminution.
