Sample Preparation & Processing
Versatile LED photochemistry reactors for scalable chemistry solutions
Innovative eco-friendly solution for sustainable sample processing
Micronic is excited to introduce the EFC Refill Rack, a ground-breaking addition to its Eco-Friendly Choice line, designed to advance sustainability in laboratory sample processing. This innovative product features a reusable base rack and cover, paired with a refill system made of 99% in-house renewed materials. The EFC Refill Rack highlights Micronic’s commitment to reducing environmental impact while maintaining high standards of functionality and quality. The product is the latest in Micronic’s sustainable offerings, joining the EFC Racks RM, which were launched earlier this year at the SLAS2024 event, and are also manufactured from 99% renewed materials.
The EFC Refill Rack are manufactured from durable polypropylene (PP), making it ideal for repeated use and facilitating straightforward recycling. The renewed materials are sourced directly from Micronic’s production facility in the Netherlands, where they undergo stringent quality checks to ensure the final product’s reliability and performance. This sustainable design not only supports laboratories’ efforts to reduce plastic waste but also meets the rising demand for eco-friendly labware without compromising on quality. Each component in the refill system is carefully inspected to maintain product integrity, making the EFC Refill Rack a responsible and reliable choice for laboratories looking to minimise their environmental footprint.
Laboratory specialist Asynt has unveiled a versatile new range of photochemistry reactors, offering chemists scalable tools for both batch and continuous flow applications. As part of their extensive catalogue, these reactors support a broad array of reaction scales and synthetic applications, providing chemists with flexible and effective solutions from milligram to kilogram quantities - all from a single trusted source.
The advamcement of photochemistry in recent years, especially ‘reagentless’ activation methods, has prompted researchers to rethink their synthetic strategies. Asynt’s photochemistry reactors respond to this shift, using high-quality LED technology to drive safe, efficient, and precise reactions. With controlled narrow emission bands and reduced power loss between light source and reagent, the reactors ensure optimised light transfer through innovative designs, including the LightSyn Lighthouse Quartz Reactor Rod.
Asynt’s range covers single wavelength LEDs from 365 nm to 940 nm, as well as cool white IR, providing nearly universal compatibility with current photochemistry techniques. For added safety, each reactor is fully sealed, interlocked, and offers precise temperature control for both the LED source and reaction chamber, ensuring stable and reliable conditions.
The product line includes the LightSyn Lighthouse, a batch reactor with a 10 W LED that can run single or multiple positions. Meanwhile, the LightSyn Illumin8 facilitates up to eight parallel reactions, using DrySyn OCTO technology for individual sampling under inert atmospheres. For chemists looking to scale up, the Solstice and Solstice MAXI models are ideal, offering higher power light sources of 120 W and 180 W and accommodating up to twelve 8 mL or 20 mL vials.
On the flow chemistry side, Asynt offers the fReactor PhotoFLOW, featuring five continuously stirred tank reactors in cascade with independent 10 W modules, and the PhotoSyn, a high-power LED reactor for continuous flow applications, with up to 700 W output. This model includes a programmable power supply with connectivity options, making it suitable for larger operations.
Asynt is unique in supplying both batch and flow photochemistry equipment to chemists over the widest range of scales all from just one company. With highly efficient and safe solutions for both standalone photochemical reactions and combination flow and photochemical reactions, the question to chemists now, is can your ground-state chemistry give you access to cleaner, greener, ‘reagentless’ chemistry, and how do you best utilise these tools?

One of the standout benefits of the EFC Refill Rack is its potential to significantly reduce eco-costs and carbon emissions. After 10 uses, the eco-costs – which represent the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle – are reduced by 61%. The rack’s carbon footprint is similarly lowered by 69%, making it an ideal choice for laboratories dedicated to sustainable practices. The EFC Refill Rack is engineered for versatility and durability, withstanding temperatures from -80°C to +100°C and supporting a 96-well format for 1.40ml tubes. It is compatible with both internally and externally threaded tubes, available with screw or push caps, allowing it to meet a wide array of laboratory requirements.
Combining sustainability, efficiency, and quality, the Micronic EFC Refill Rack sets a new standard in environmentally conscious labware.

Laboratory mixers: Versatile, fast and built to last
Silverson Laboratory mixers have been sold all over the world to everyone from small start-up companies to larger international brands.
The popularity of these multi-purpose Laboratory mixers can be attributed to their versatility; they can be used to mix, emulsify, homogenise, disintegrate and dissolve, with an efficiency and flexibility unmatched by other machines.
The advantage of Silverson Laboratory mixers over simple agitators and stirrers stems from the specially designed high shear rotor/ stator workhead. Unlike conventional mixers or agitators, high shear mixers utilise specialised rotor/stator technology to generate extremely high shear rates. This creates a powerful suction effect that continuously draws materials into the high shear zone, where they are intensively mixed, before being projected back into the body of the mix at high velocity.
Leveraging this advanced technology, high shear mixers provide remarkable mixing efficiency, enabling: Faster processing times and increased production throughput; Finer and more uniform droplet/particle size distributions; Improved product quality, consistency, and stability across batches.
A range of over 40 workheads, screens and assemblies makes these Laboratory mixers even more versatile. These easily interchangeable workheads enable any machine to perform a wide range of mixing operations and allow one mixer to perform duties that in the past may have required several different pieces of processing equipment.
As well as the workheads supplied as standard with the mixer, this range includes an In-Line assembly for the L5 Series. This assembly converts the L5 mixer to an In-Line mixer/homogeniser with a throughput of approximately 20 litres/minute. The Duplex mixing assembly converts the L5 series into a small-scale version of the production scale Duplex machine, ideal for disintegration and solubilisation of solids, high viscosity mixes, or the incorporation of powders with a tendency to float.
Other assemblies include Tubular units for narrow-necked containers, Sealed Units for sterile materials and an Ultramix powder/liquid mixing assembly.
