Working closely with researchers at the Centrale Lille Institute in Lille, France, Asynt has developed and supplied two custom high-pressure reactors to assist in the development of advanced catalysts for biomass transformation.
The Catalysis and Solid State Chemistry Unit in Lille brings together a large group of experienced researchers, technical and administrative support staff, doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers. Its scientific activities are divided into three fields: heterogeneous catalysis, catalysis and molecular chemistry, and solid chemistry. Within the VAALBIO group, the CatBioInnov team (led by Dr Robert Wojcieszak), is focused on the advanced catalytic upgrading of biomass materials for biorefineries, alongside research into streamlining the use of fossil resources.

Asynt has published a case study describing how the FroSyn Cooling Station has enabled John Bower’s Group at the University of Liverpool to reproducibly conduct low temperature enantioselective catalytic reactions, over an extended period of time.
The FroSyn system, jointly developed by Asynt and temperature control specialists, Julabo UK, offers a versatile, stand-alone solution to low temperature synthetic chemistry without the drawbacks of traditional reaction cooling using dry ice/solvent baths.
Dr Karim Bahou of the John Bower Group commented in the case study: We are very pleased to have purchased a FroSyn for our low temperature synthetic chemistry research. By using the vial insert supplied with the device, we can set-up several parallel reactions in order to test different reaction conditions at low temperature, at the same time. When we want to scale-up, we are able to do this simply by switching the insert to allow round bottom flasks up
