Atlas is a high performance, low cost synthesis system that is flexible and truly easy to use. The intelligent base can be configured to control one or many reactions at scales from μl to 2 litres in vials, flasks or jacketed reactors.
Atlas has the following applications in discovery and process development:
Reaction development
Reaction optimisation
Process screening
Synthesis automation
Scale-up chemistry
Crystallisation
Parallel chemistry
High throughput chemistry
Calorimetry
Biochemistry
Fermentation
Cell culture
Atlas offers discovery and process chemists many advantages:
Greater system utility and flexibility
Simple functionality
A rationalisation in the number of synthesis systems required
An overall reduction in capital costs
Atlas benefits
Easy to use: twist & click knob, large display and intuitive
Automated: walk away synthesis
Automatic data capture: download all data to a USB stick in .csv format
High performance hotplate or circulator temperature control: rapid heating to 280°C and accurate control
High performance magnetic or overhead stirring: 1200RPM magnetic or 1000RPM powerful overhead stirrer
Quick: everything clicks together quickly and easily without tools
Small footprint: 23cm (9”) square easily fits in fume cupboards
Robust: specifically designed for use in chemical laboratories
Jacketed reactor systems Jacketed vessels from 100ml to 2 litres can be controlled in a fully automated fashion. They can be easily changed due to the quick release vessel clamp, auto aligning stirrer, quick connect fluid hoses and semi-automatic circulator fluid drain. Without PC control, the intelligent base can control circulator or reaction temperature, overhead stirrer speed and reagent addition from a pump. Data from sensors such as thermocouples, pH sensors, turbidity probes and stirrers are recorded by the base and can be downloaded to a USB stick.
Vial and round bottom flask systems A variety of dry bath options fit onto the hotplate and magnetic stirrer for single round bottom flasks or parallel flasks or vials. For cooled reactions, the hotplate can be removed and a cold plate fitted. The single atlas dry bath has concentric cups allowing round bottom flasks from 50ml to 1 litre to be heated or cooled. A triple dry bath is available for flasks from 50ml to 250ml and 6 or 12 vials can be heated with a reflux head. The base can automatically run reaction profiles and add reagents.
Atlas systems The atlas base can be configured into a variety of different systems for different applications such as discovery or process chemistry. In every case, the hardware clicks into place in seconds without the need for tools and can be controlled in three ways: 1) Turn the control knob to change hotplate or circulator fluid temperature and magnetic or overhead stirrer speed. Connect any bases for parallel chemistry in a master-slave fashion. 2) Edit and run profiles automatically from the base to control heating, cooling, stirring and reagent addition. Connect many bases in parallel to run one profile on all. 3) Use full PC software for complex recipe control,real time data plotting and control of third party hardware. The software can also control many bases at a time with different profiles.
