-
Excellent visibility. The novel design of the glass heat exchangers ensures the entire working volume of the reactor is visible at all times.
-
Precise temperature control. The true temperature of each reactor is measured and controlled. Not only that, but the whole reactor is kept at a uniform temperature.
-
4 Independently heated zones. The temperature of each reactor can be set independently.
-
Maximum temperature 250 °C. For channels 1 & 3, the range is ambient to 150 ºC, for channels 2 & 4 it is ambient to 250 °C
-
Minimum temperature -70 °C. For channels 1, 3 & 4, there is the option of a cooling module.
-
Accepts both column and tube reactors. Reactors for either heterogeneous flow or homogeneous flow can be “plugged-in”.
-
Rapid response. Rates of temperature change between set points of up to 80 °C / minute. When cooling, a reactor can go from ambient to -70 °C in 16 mins.
-
Active cooling, even for heated reactors. After a 250 °C reaction, cooling down to a safe handling temperature takes approx 7 minutes.
-
Compact size. A single R4 offers four independently heated reactors within a small footprint. Multiple R4’s can be stacked.
