The Easier Way to Perform Organic Synthesis

METTLER TOLEDO’s compact OptiMax™ synthesis workstation is set up in minutes and can be easily operated from -40 °C to 180 °C without the need for a cumbersome oil or ice bath or a bulky cryostat. It is small, mobile and its entire functionality is integrated into one box. Reactor stands and cover holders ensure all equipment is stored securely and always within reach.

The large, illuminated front window provides chemists an excellent view into their chemistry, enabling reaction mass observation. Physical changes and transitions of the reaction mass become immediately apparent.

The unique design of OptiMax™ and its intuitive interface improve the way organic synthesis is carried out. It operates accurately and reproducibly and allows unattended, overnight experiments. Error-prone steps can be eliminated, reducing experimental errors.

One-Click Operation
The handling of the smart and intuitive touch-screen is effortless and does not require training. All functions are easily accessible and reaction parameters are changed quickly. Changing target values or starting the addition of a reactant is straightforward and doesn’t require constant supervision. A sequence of consecutive synthesis tasks can be pre-programmed and run completely unattended. The experiment information is presented in real time as either trends or numbers. Zoom in and out, change the graphical representation or substitute data displayed by others with only a few touches.

Flexible
Changing the experiment configuration takes a matter of seconds. Depending on the nature of the experiment, the appropriate configuration can be chosen from a wide range of different types and volumes of reactors and accessories. Stirrers specifically designed for each of the vessels guarantee vigorous and efficient mixing.

Information at a Glance
During the course of the experiment, all data points and events are recorded automatically. Transferring the data to a PC or an eLabNotebook is a simple task. The data can be processed further with the powerful iControl™ software or MS-Excel to obtain additional high quality information.

The OptiMax™synthesis workstation makes organic synthesis easier then ever and changes the way chemistry is explored.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
