Hitting the ground running. I’m back! After making amazing memories with family, hey ho, hey ho, it’s back to work I go! Let’s do this! #BackToWork #HitTheGroundRunning #Asynt
I’m officially swapping reactors, quotations and emails for my most important role yet… Aunty Duty! 🥰 I’ll be away from work until Monday 10th August. Normal service will resume once I’ve survived a week with the chumps. #TimeOut #AuntyDuty #MakingMemories

The Supercars were amazing, but these @nextgenri_uk robots had me captivated! 🤖 (They still give me the heeby jeebies, mind! 🤣🥴) #Robotics #GoodwoodFOS #ScienceAndTechnology #NextGenRi
Today is #NationalRaspberryDay! Did you know one of the compounds that contributes to raspberry flavour, ethyl formate, has been detected in a giant molecular cloud near the centre of our galaxy? Check out this infographic from @compoundchem.com on the chemistry of raspberries. Unberrylievable!
Always great to see innovative research published. 💡🧪 Congratulations to @wojcieszakr’s group on their latest paper investigating the light driven oxidation of HMF using @Asynt’s Illumin8 photoreactor. Read it here 👀 www.asynt.com/wp-content/u... #Photochemistry #GreenChemistry
BOSSing it in Leuven at the Belgium Organic Synthesis Symposium with over 500 synthetic organic chemists under one roof. Asynt ’s idea of conference heaven! 😇 🧪 #OrganicChemistry #OrganicSynthesis #BOSSXIX
Hello KU Leuven! 🇧🇪 The Asynt stand is all set up for #BOSSXIX Let’s do this! 🦸🏼 #OrganicChemistry #OrganicSynthesis
"It is the brain, the little grey cells..." ~ Hercule Poirot Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... right? 😉 Next stop: Leuven aboard the Asynt Express (⚡🚗 IYKYK). Off to BOSS XIX. Fancy chatting Flow Chemistry, photochemistry or greener synthesis? Come and say hello! 🔎🧪🇧🇪 #BOSSXIX
Final day of #RICT2026 for Asynt and CLOUP Ateliers. Let’s do this! 💚🧪🇫🇷 #MedChem #ChemicalBiology #DrugDiscovery
Patrick Swayze would probably have something to say about it... "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." Luckily for us, we’re right near the food table! 😄 Day two of #RICT2026 Come and say “hello” to Muriel Cugnasca and I on the Asynt / CLOUP stand. #MedicinalChemistry #LetsDoThis
Bonjour Paris! 👋🏼 🇫🇷 Muriel Cugnasca, from CLOUP Ateliers, and I are ready to rock ‘n’ roll the Asynt product line at the 60th anniversary of RICT. We’re in the stunning home of La Maison de la Chimie, so pop over if you’re around to say “salut!” #RICT2026 #MedicinalChemistry
Still switching between different Flow Chemistry systems? There might be a better way... Meet the ColdCoil from Asynt. Catch up with the latest from Chemical Industry Journal www.chemicalindustryjournal.co.uk/from-cryogen... #CoolChemistry #TemperatureControl #FlowChemistry
Photochemistry continues to shine when it comes to greener synthesis. 🌱🧪💡 Researchers used Asynt's Illumin8 #photoreactor and fReactor to optimise photocatalytic oxidation, combining batch & #flowchemistry to tackle a real sustainability challenge. 🔗 doi.org/10.1039/D4GC...
Sometimes yellow is the new green. 💛🌱 This reaction may be bright yellow, but the Asynt setup is doing plenty of the green leg work. 🍋 Water free distillation with CondenSyn 🍋 Oil free heating with DrySyn A massive thank you to @SalfordUniTech for these brilliant images. #SustainableLabs
Thinking about introducing #photochemistry into undergraduate teaching? Asynt's Lighthouse is a safe and cost effective #photoreactor allowing students to see their chemistry in a whole new light. No need to leave anyone in the dark. www.asynt.com/product/ligh... #TeachingLabs
Hello from LD Organisation - Scientific Conference Producers EFMC - European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology in Dublin! 🇮🇪 Looking forward to a fabulous week showcasing Asynt’s product portfolio in the Emerald Isle. 🧪💚 ☘️ #Photochemistry #FlowChemistry #SustainableLabs
In the words of Pato Banton, “We bubbling hot hot hot, we bubbling hot!” Thanks to Queen's University Belfast for this fab image of Asynt’s CondenSyn and DrySyn in action. Doing what they do best; green, safe, synthesis. 🧪💚 #SustainableLabs #GreenChemistry
It's encouraging to see the Illumin8 recognised, alongside other technologies, helping researchers explore reaction space more efficiently and accelerate photochemical discovery. “Mechanistic Investigation of [Co2(CO)8] Catalyzed Photoaminocarbonylation” pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #chemsky
Training the next generation of scientists using #FlowChemistry A big thank you to @HUUtrecht for sharing their experience with the @Asynt fReactor The fReactor allows students to visualise reactions, using coloured reagents, while collecting quantitative data by spectroscopy #ChemSky
5 days to go! ⏱️ Will you be there? www.medchemfrontiers.org/venue #MedicinalChemistry #ChemSky @acs.org @euromedchem.bsky.social
