Merrow Scientific is currently attending the RAPS/RAMS meeting at Leeds University. The event is intended for new researchers in those fields to meet, interact and present their research to each other.
We're here showing the Autoclave Engineers mini reactor and also discussing the latest developments from Rubotherm and BEL.

Merrow Scientific are pleased to announce this year is the 20th Anniversary of the formation of Rubotherm GmbH.
Rubotherm are the manufacturers of the unique patented magnetic suspension balance used for high pressure gravimetric sorption. Originally this instrument was developed in the world renown Thermodynamics Dept in the Ruhr University, Bochum (Germany) when they had a specific application and found that nothing commerically available would allow them to measure at raised pressures and to the accuracy required. After this successful first project a spin out company was formed from the Ruhr Uni Bochum Thermodynamics Dept (you can see where the name comes from now!!) and since then for the last 20 years the Rubotherm MSB gravimetric system has been supplied worldwide for many applications, including:
- gas sorption
- measurement of gas density
- corrosion and degradation studies
- vapour sorption
- separation
- catalyst characterisation
- supercritical extraction
- thermo gravimetric analysis
There are countless applications possible and many leading research groups using the system for cutting edge work - please look at the Rubotherm section of this blog for further information.
Due to the unique design of the Rubotherm system we can very accurately measure small mass changes of sample while dosing gases or vapours across in all conditions - from ultra high vacuum to 2000bar; from 4K up to 1600degC; and in corrosive environments. In addition due to the expertise and knowledge built up at Rubotherm over the last 20+ years the accuracy and versatility of the system can be fine tuned to suit the exact research requirements - including unique high pressure thermodynamics expertise not available elsewhere.
Merrow Scientific are the exclusive partner in the UK and Ireland for Rubotherm and to celebrate 20 years of Rubotherm leading the way for high pressure sorption we have a number of special deals available - please contact us for further information.

The title of this article may be a bit vague, but just to let you know 
of a re-focus of this blog section of our website.
Every few days we'll be detailed current research being carried out by our customers in the UK, customers of our suppliers around the globe, and any other research findings that are related and of interest. So hopefully being a good and relevant source of information for you all.
We'll also include any related news and articles from around the web, so such things as Fischer Tropsch, Coal Gasification, Biomass Gasification, Catalyst Characterisation and other new energy research and general chemistry and chemical engineering research.
All new Merrow Scientific product news will be detailed in our latest products section
