Atlas dry baths

Designed to operate at temperatures up to 280°C, Atlas dry baths offer a safer and more efficient heating option for round-bottom flasks or vials without the risk and mess of oil baths. Compatible with leading brands of hotplates, the stacking dry bath is both compact and flexible. Its series of concentric cups accommodates flasks of varying volume, from 50 mL to 1 L. The triple dry bath is available for three flasks with capacities ranging from 50 mL to 250 mL. A protective safety shield enables the module to be quickly picked up and moved in the case of an emergency. The shield facilitates the rapid cooling of a reaction for work-up and purification via a natural convection airflow. The unique cup design prevents the cracking of glassware and a temperature probe hole for every cup facilitates intimate contact with reactors. The use of deep cups optimizes heat-transfer surface area and reduces heat-up time. The dry bath is part of the Atlas automated synthesis system, a low-cost, intelligent modular system that is simple to use and quick to set up. Using a fully modular approach, the Atlas base unit can be configured into a wide range of systems to control vials, round-bottom flasks and jacketed vessels. Atlas systems can carry out numerous functions, including heating, stirring, cooling, pH measurement and automated reagent addition.
