Our 6,000-ton Kawai-type split-column multi-anvil, the first of its kind in the U.S., handles sample volumes far beyond those of traditional systems. Its unmatched capacity opens new possibilities for large-volume synthesis, advanced ƒO₂ control, and techniques requiring more material — all in a single experiment.
