Why chemists love Mya 4 - Customer testimonials

In this video we will share the top five reasons chemists love the Mya 4 Reaction Station.

The Mya 4 is an automated 4 zone reaction station offering safe and precise heating, active cooling, software control and data logging for continuous unattended operation.  With numerous features and benefits, we asked our customers which ones they value the most.

What was clear from the outset it didn’t matter if the customer was working in Pharma, or for a CRO (Contract Research Organisation); in life sciences or pharmaceuticals, the responses were often the same. Here’s what they valued the most…

Data logging provides the chemist with information rich results.  With all parameters recorded and reported there are no unknowns.  In addition, these can be rapidly shared with an electronic notebook or another lab anywhere in the world

Controlled cooling allows the Mya 4 to operate at temperatures down to -30 °C broadening the organic chemistry that can be performed.  Being able to respond to any exotherm increases safety and crystallisations with cooling ramps are easily achieved.

Ease of use is critical.  The intuitive interface on the control pad takes seconds to enter the reaction parameters and requires minimal training.  Equally, setting up the glassware is  simple: swapping from vials, to flasks to process vessels with overhead stirring in no time at all.

Flexibility in scale and temperature is highly valued.  Having the ability to swap from small scale parallel experiments to larger process type vessels allows the chemist to rapidly adapt to project requirements.  Also, achieving up to 200 °C between zones with no interference ensures the chemistry of all reactions is not compromised.

Lastly, Design of Experiment (DoE) & scale up.  With benefits such as precise temperature control and parallel chemistry the Mya 4 is perfect to conduct your DoE.  Then transferring from smaller scale to the larger process chemistry vessels allows fast and efficient scale up.
