OptiMax Starter Kit and HFCal
Detect Non-Scalable Conditions.The OptiMax 1001 HFCal - a reaction calorimeter for fast and efficient safety studies for process characterization and scale-up.
Uncover Scale-up and Safety Issues
OptiMax™ HFCal reproducibly delivers information for characterizing and scaling up processes to ensure they are safe at scale.
Understand Your Process Parameters
Heat data obtained under both isothermal and non-isothermal conditions enables the characterization of process parameters under process-like conditions.
Simple and Accurate Calorimetry
The Plug & Play calorimetry module enables determination of heat information accurately and precisely.
Material No.: 511628301
Features
Faster Process Development
Characterize reaction parameters and collect heat information at the same time. The combination of heat information with real-time analytical data provides researchers with the relevant information for safe scale-up processes.
Precise Heating and Cooling
Powerful heating and rapid cooling combined with the unique control algorithm ensure that the temperature is maintained accurately and precisely between -40°C and 180°C, even if sudden exothermic reactions occur.
Accurate Data Analysis
With a single click, the iControl software automatically calculates and reports heat transfer data, the specific heat of the reaction mass, heat flow and reaction enthalpies.
