Your reactions are always clearly visible and each tube can be removed and handled individually. The Teflon caps slide on to seal each test tube. The caps have a gas inlet, plus a port for reagent delivery. Use standard equipment for heating and cooling Heating and cooling requires no complex devices. Or use a commercially-available laboratory hotplate for heating.
Agitation continues uninterrupted during both heating and cooling.
Its built in Argonaut's proprietary vertical agitation is built into the FirstMate frame. Magnets in the frame move up and down, pulling the agitation magnet in each test tube at the speed you choose. Mixing continues during both heating and cooling. Control box stays out of the way The small control box for setting agitation speed and gas delivery clamps onto your existing laboratory support lattice, so that it is out of the way, yet easy to reach.
