At BioAscent, we have invested over £3 million in R&D equipment since 2020, and our commitment to innovation and sustainability demands systems that are robust, flexible, and forward-compatible. Asynt's innovative lab equipment is designed to meet these requirements, aligning perfectly with our long-term vision.
From rapid synthetic development with FlowSyn to daily dependable heating and water-saving operations with DrySyn and CondenSyn, Asynt tools support us in delivering results without compromising on sustainability or quality.

Asynt equipment used at BioAscent:
FlowSyn: Flow chemistry is increasingly central to modern synthesis, offering enhanced safety, scalability, and reproducibility.
DrySyn: These oil-free heating blocks allow for safer, precise heating without any mess.
CondenSyn: These 100% water-free condensers operate with the same efficiency as Liebig Condensers, using the shape of the glassware to induce turbulent flow and thus condensation through increased contact between the vapour and the surface of the glass.

Kirsten Deytrikh, Medicinal Chemist at BioAscent says: “At BioAscent, we are continuously looking for ways to improve our productivity and sustainability in the lab while maintaining the high standards and quality our customers have come to expect from us. Embracing new technologies, such as the Asynt Octo, allows us to efficiently carry out parallel chemistry, increasing the throughput of compounds synthesised by our chemists while saving both time and resources.
We are excited to work with Asynt, to push the frontiers of drug discovery. Asynt design lab tools that last, evolve with researchers, and support a more sustainable future for science.”
