The Reactor-Ready reaction system from Radleys is a multi-volume jacketed glass reaction station for laboratories involved with synthesis and process research and development. Simple to use, quick to set-up and with innovative features, the Reactor-Ready is designed to boost a chemist's productivity.
According to Radleys, based in Saffron Walden, Essex, the Reactor-Ready introduces user-friendly design features normally found on more expensive automated controlled laboratory reactors.
The fix-once stirrer drive clamp fits all major brands of electric and air-powered drives and ensures that the stirrer drive is always in the correct alignment. The stirrer support beam allows the drive to be easily lowered and raised without needing to reposition the fix-once stirrer drive clamp. A PTFE stirrer guide provides excellent stirring and sealing performance. An extended stirrer shaft support also ensures whip-free agitation.
Reactor-Ready accommodates standard jacketed glass reaction vessels from 250ml to 5 litres. Precision ground and polished flat-flanges with a PTFE collared FEP encapsulated O-ring seal ensure a superior sealing performance. Special flexible hoses that incorporate a quick connect coupling have been used to enable rapid exchange of vessels without the use of tools. Integral wide bore vessel-to-manifold hoses provide maximum heat transfer fluid flow rate and are insulated for optimum performance.
The frame supports all vessel-to-manifold hoses thereby eliminating stress on the glassware. A drain-down venting stopcock on the return manifold allows quick and easy venting of the heat transfer fluid circuit during vessel changeover. Speedy drain-down can be achieved either by draining back to the circulator bath or direct from the Ready Reactor supply manifold drain point.
The sturdy support frame incorporates a heavy duty base plate with levelling feet ensuring that it is secure and stable. An integral HDPE safety bund tray holds five litres of fluid in case of spillage.
