Applications-focused seminars to explore innovative calorimetry, sonocrystallization and flow chemistry solutions
Royston, UK (6 May 2010) – Leading chemistry product innovator, Syrris, has announced that, due to significant interest in India for its range of automated batch reactor and flow chemistry products, it will be hosting two applications-focused seminars. Taking place on Monday 10th May (Hyderabad) and Thursday 13th May (Ahmedabad), each seminar will include introductory discussions and workshops.
Syrris’ Global Head of Sales, Dr. Omar Jina, will introduce seminars on calorimetry, sonocrystallization and flow chemistry. He said: “This is an extremely exciting time for Syrris Ltd India. With sales increasing at a rapid pace, we wanted to provide users with the opportunity to actively participate in workshops and discussions, ensuring that they are fully aware of the capabilities of each system.”
Since incorporating its Indian subsidiary in 2009, Syrris has experienced outstanding levels of success within the Indian market. Syrris’ flow chemistry products include FRX, a modular flow chemistry system and Africa, a fully-automated microreactor flow system. The batch reactor products include the Atlas automated synthesis system, which provides complete control over one, or parallel, reactions up to 5 litres in vials, flasks or jacketed reactors. With its ability to provide excellent temperature control and highly accurate results, the Atlas Calorimetry System has been particularly successful. This safe, accurate and low-cost system is easy-to-use with both Heat Flow Calorimetry (HFC) and Power Compensation Calorimetry (PCC).

Syrris Limited
Established in 2001, Syrris Limited is one of the fastest growing science SMEs in the UK employing over 30 scientists and engineers at its facility in Royston (near Cambridge). Founders Mark Gilligan and Richard Gray come from a background of developing automation products for chemists at companies such as The Technology Partnership (TTP) and Mettler Toledo.
Syrris develops laboratory automation products for chemists such as the Atlas automated chemistry systems. Atlas can be configured into a wide range of different systems including Lithium and Sodium for round bottom flasks (magnetically and overhead stirred respectively) and Potassium for jacketed vessels. Other Atlas systems, designed for specific applications, including calorimetry, volumetric dosing, gravimetric dosing, pH, etc, are also available.
Syrris also specialise in flow reactors for R&D chemists, including FRX: a low cost flow chemistry system and Africa (Automated Flow Reaction Incubation and Control Apparatus): a modular system for library synthesis, aqueous work-up and reaction optimization that will ultimately reduce the time taken to develop, synthesize, screen and review a chemical entity, thus vastly speeding up the drug discovery process.
In recognition of its technological achievements, Syrris has been awarded a prestigious UK DTI SMART Exceptional Grant. Syrris has also won a significant DTi MNT (Micro and Nano Technology) award which has been used to establish a new subsidiary called The Dolomite Centre Ltd. This company is focused on design and fabrication of Microfluidic devices for a wide range of applications.
