Vapourtec tubular reactors use a small-bore coiled tube housed within an insulated glass manifold. Temperature is controlled by circulating heated or cooled air, providing excellent visibility and uniform heating with no hot spots. Reactor coils can be swapped in seconds without tools or heat-transfer fluids.
Application examples
- Homogeneous reactions under precisely controlled conditions
- High-temperature pressurised reactions up to 150 °C
- Acid-mediated transformations requiring excellent chemical resistance
Tubular reactor features
- Ambient to 150 °C temperature range
- 2 ml, 5 ml and 10 ml reactor sizes
- Materials options PFA, stainless steel 316 or Hastelloy C-276
- Residence times 20 s to 200 minutes
- Pressure up to 42 bar at 150 °C for Hastelloy and stainless steel
- Pressure up to 15 bar at 150 C for PFA
Key advantages
Vapourtec tubular reactors combine excellent visibility (PFA versions), broad chemical compatibility, and precise control of temperature and residence time distribution. Reactors can also be quickly swapped without tools, allowing rapid and flexible reconfiguration of experiments.
