How to improve your viscous reactions

Experimental work in chemistry and biotechnology demands increasingly versatile and efficient reactor systems. One of the most notable advances in this area is the development of a structure that can be used to invert glassware reactors. This system, which can be rotated by up to 180°C, promises a revolution in scientific research by offering precise control over reaction temperature and efficient handling of highly viscous and pasty products.

Glassware reactors, known for their versatility in chemical and biological applications, have found a fundamental solution with this system. The “rotation system” uses the force of gravity to facilitate the extraction of dense products and guarantees impeccable cleanliness, allowing the entire sample to be easily collected from the vessel.

Structural advantages

The structure not only stands out for its capacity up to 15 litres, but also for its safe, ergonomic design. The system features highly simplified operation, as a single operator can precisely control the speed and angle of rotation, even permitting a full 180°C rotation for total process control. The incorporation of an extra security lock ensures safe, reliable rotation always, prioritising the integrity of the user and the experiment.

The rotation system also features a fast-coupling system for disconnecting the thermal fluid from the jacket vessel, resulting in safer, more efficient operation. These special shut-off valves increase the level of control over the process, as well as its safety, thus ensuring that experiments run smoothly and without any unnecessary risks.

In short, the glassware reactor rotation system represents a significant advance in scientific experimentation. Its capacity to accommodate a wide variety of laboratory-scale production needs, together with its safe, ergonomic design, make it an essential piece of equipment for researchers and scientists in search of excellence when studying reactions with highly viscous substances.
