Automated Flow Chemistry
The FlowSyn Auto-LF module from Uniqsis allows flow chemists to perform multiple experiments with multiple reagents automatically. This machine quickly produces large quantities of compounds by simultaneous loop filling and fraction collection. Use it to optimize experiments, prepare focused combinatorial libraries using flow reactions and to perform reagent screening.
Openly accessible and user-friendly, the FlowSyn Auto-LF requires no injections ports. Integrated wash protocols minimize cross-contamination. Precise sampler calibration to position samples in loops ensures volumetric accuracy.

Prevent Leaks from Within
Whitmores Innerseal leak-control gear oil is now available in the Irish and U.K. markets from Industrial Specialty Lubricants. Innerseal was designed for enclosed mining and industrial gear cases, including those operating under heavy loads. It can be used on a range of equipment without filtration systems to contain leaks and reduce wear.
Particles formed by its additives produce mesh-like structures in gaps, reducing or preventing leaks through loose fittings, small cracks and poor seals in large gear cases. Use Innerseal to increase the life of gears with broken cases in lieu of frequently replacing seals, and topping off oil.
