Cambridge Reactor Design collaborating with Heston Blumenthal’s Team
Cambridge Reactor Design (CRD) are delighted to be working with the chefs at Heston Blumenthal’s experimental kitchen.
The chefs are evaluating CRD’s Polar Bear Advanced Cooling Technology at their kitchen in Bray. The Polar Bear accurately delivers any temperature from +5 to -90C at the touch of a button. Custom made moulds ensure good thermal transfer to the food being prepared.
Initial results have been exciting and the chefs are impressed with the accurate temperature control that can be achieved and the speed of heat transfer. Following good success with current recipes, the plan is to extend the evaluation by exploring the potential to design new menu items that could only be prepared using this enabling technology.
CRD and Uniqsis launch the Polar Bear for flow chemistry
The Polar Bear Tubular Reactor for continuous chemistry applications has been launched by CRD and Uniqsis. With a temperature range of ambient to –88C achieved at the touch of a button, the Polar Bear represents a significant advance in the flow chemistry field. The unit is available both in a standalone format, or integrated with Uniqsis’ FlowSyn to make up the FlowSyn Polar Bear system. To find out more please read the full press release and see our Polar Bear leaflet.
The Gastropod Gas Introduction Module is now available.
CRD are pleased to announce that the Gastropod Gas Introduction Module for continuous chemistry applications is now available. Based on an original concept from the chemists at Cambridge University, the Gastropod uses semi-permeable membrane technology to improve contact between the gas and liquid phases. The module has been successfully demonstrated with a number of reactive gases, including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen and ozone, as well as with a wide range of solvents such as methanol, THF, dichloromethane and acetonitrile. Publications from the Ley group are in press and examples will be posted on our case studies page in due course.
CRD exhibit Polar Bear at 28th SCI Process Development Symposium
Cambridge Reactor Design will be exhibiting their new Polar Bear Advanced Cooling Technology in Cambridge UK at the 28th SCI Process Development Symposium, 8-10 December 2010. If you’d like to achieve efficient cooling at the touch of a button, come and talk to us about your application.
