Accurate temperature control achieving big results, on a small scale
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mya 4 applications which require accurate temperature control:
|
|
|
- Exothermic reactions - which require active cooling
- Study of parameters other than temperature - which require reliable and reproducible temperatures
- Working with temperature-sensitive materials (e.g. biomolecules) - which require tightly controlled temperatures
- Experiments requiring slow cooling or heating ramps

Study of key processing parameters other than temperature
|
|
´The precise temperature control provided by the Mya 4 has been essential to understanding key processing parameters of temperature sensitive experiments. It has allowed us to improve our understanding of current manufacturing processes."
" Without accuracy of temperature, you cannot conduct a successful design of experiment (DoE) exercise."

|
 |
Carefully controlled cooling ramps for crystallisation optimisation
|
|
"Prior to acquiring Mya 4, we used stirring hotplates and liquid cooling baths (dry ice/acetone) when needed. The set up and tinkering using this regime was completely obviated with Mya 4, which is basically a walk up reaction workstation."
"We do a lot of reaction optimisation work (different catalyst loads, different temperatures, etc.) and recently had to do a crystallisation optimisation that required carefully controlled cooling ramps – all of this was a breeze with Mya 4 and made our research progress much quicker."

Temperature-sensitive materials and exothermic reactions
|
|
´Mya 4 fulfils the need of a multipurpose small-scale reactor system that is not overspecified. The fact that the unit is so versatile is a strong advantage.´
´On previous systems I have looked at, flask sizes were limited to only one or two options.
I would have loved a Mya 4, two years ago so I could have used it as the workhorse for most of the project.´
