  Small innovations at Radleys are Making a World of Difference at Roche

Radleys Findenser Super Air Condenser has made a considerable impression at Roche, Switzerland after Daniel Zimmerli and his intern put ten of the innovative devices through their paces with Roche internal testing.

Roche Basel Switzerland He was able to confirm that the Findenser not only saves precious water, but also completely removes the risk of leaks and flooding in the laboratory. “If I had my way, good old water or intensive condensers would soon be a thing of the past” said Dr Zimmerli, speaking in an interview for the company magazine myRoche 2015/4, “this small, relatively inconspicuous laboratory device will bring about considerable improvements...

 

  Findensers Reduce Water Consumption at the University of Cardiff by 3000 Litres per Day

The chemistry teaching laboratories at the University of Cardiff were using expensive bespoke water condensers to trap the exhaust gases of rotary evaporator vacuum pumps.

Cardiff Uni FindenserSeveral were needed for their new teaching laboratory, so they decided to look at alternatives. They settled on the Findenser super air condenser, which requires no running water to operate. As a result, it is estimated that the labs will reduce their water usage by ~ 3,000 litres of water per day. This will reduce water purchase and disposal costs AND help the University of Cardiff meet its overall target of a 3% reduction in water usage per annum. The Chief Technician commented...

 

  Dart Neuroscience Switch to Reactor-Ready with AVA Lab Control Software

After a major investment in multiple systems with semi-permanently mounted vessels, each occupying a dedicated fume hood with a dedicated circulator, Dart Neuroscience switched to Reactor-Ready and Reactor-Ready Pilot systems with a selection of vacuum jacketed process vessels.

Dr. Jing Liu, Scientist III, Process ChemistryThe systems included software control, as valuable process data was not being recorded via manual methods. Radley systems have mostly replaced the previous brand in the lab and the user experience is much improved due to well-designed hardware:


 

  Carousel 12 Improves Productivity in a Busy R&D Lab

As the pace of innovation increases, many companies are switching from the traditional process of ‘one-at-a-time’ analogue synthesis, which is time consuming and highly labour intensive, to more efficient methods. 

Carousel 12 Plus Reaction SystemThis was the case in the small, space-limited R&D laboratory at the School of Pharmaceutical Science, Sun Yat-Sen University where they wanted to improve the productivity of experiments, consistency and safety. Using their existing setup of a simple water condenser, heated magnetic stirrer and glass flask for drug synthesis / combination reactions they experienced long reaction times and with limited space, project progress was always slow. After testing...

  Heidolph Distimatic

The new Distimatic, available from Radleys has made large volume, solvent evaporation easy for the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol.

Distimatic BristolDr. Luke Elliot and Professor Kevin Booker-Milburn from the School of Chemistry have invested in the Distimatic system to assist with the scale-up of photochemical reactions, a process that requires relatively dilute conditions. They reported “... we found solvent evaporation was becoming a major bottle-neck to further scale-up within the confines of a conventional lab fume-cupboard. Simply attending to the basic processes of evaporation, refilling and emptying flasks, required a surprising amount of time. All this time is saved by the Distimatic, since it fully takes over after pressing a few buttons. This allows more time to be spent focussing on the chemistry...
