Polar Bear Cub
Polar Bear PLUS
Our Polar Bear Plus takes advantage of our advanced cooling technology and combines it with the ability to heat – no solvents, ice or heat transfer fluids are needed; just plug it in and set the desired temperature from -40, to +150°C. The plus also comes with a powerful magnetic stirrer and an advance data management system. Users have a choice of holders and sensors. We can even produce customised moulds for ice cream!
Polar Bear PLUS CRYSTAL
The Polar Bear Plus – Crystal is a compact, state of the art device for crystallisation applications. Its features include precise temperature control using a cascade temperature algorithm, programmable temperatures with up to 16 heating, cooling and hold steps, heating and cooling ramps down to 0.01°C/min and temperature cycling. The Polar Bear Plus – Crystal comes with either overhead or magnetic stirring and more holders and sensors than another other product in its class.

Overview
The Polar Bear Plus is a compact easy to use workstation. Its been designed to help increase R&D productivity by reducing the need for additional equipment. The Polar Bear is a personal station that allows scientists to run experiments from 0.5 ml to 500 ml. The Polar Bear does not need an ice bath, chiller or stirring plate so experiments can be set up sooner. The Polar Bear’s sophisticated controller offers just about any level of stirrer control and temperature programming.
Testimonials
“The Polar Bear Plus Flow reactor enables a wide range of operating temperatures with excellent heat transfer properties. By accessing low temperatures it enables flow experimentation at the same conditions required in many batch synthesises providing an excellent starting point for further optimisation.”
Richard Bourne
Research Fellow, University of Leeds, UK.
