Flexible Personal Benchtop Reaction System

The Reactor-Ready™ Reaction System from Radleys is a new, innovative and affordable multi-volume jacketed glass reaction station for labs involved with synthesis and process research and development. Simple to use, quick to set-up and incorporating a range of innovative features the Reactor-Ready is designed to boost a chemist's productivity.

Based upon more than 40 years experience in the design and construction of bespoke glass reaction systems - Reactor-Ready introduces user-friendly design features normally only on more expensive automated controlled laboratory reactors.

Reactor Ready 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 novel 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 ensures whip-free agitation.

Designed to accommodate standard jacketed glass reaction vessels from 250ml to 5 litres, Reactor-Ready's unique design combines flexibility with robustness. Precision ground and polished flat-flanges with a PTFE collared FEP encapsulated O-ring seal ensures 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. All Vessel-to-manifold hoses are supported by the frame 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 directly from the Ready Reactor supply manifold drain point.

To protect your investment the sturdy ergonomically designed support frame incorporates a heavy duty base plate with levelling feet ensuring that the frame is secure and stable. An integral HDPE safety bund tray is designed to contain 5 litres of fluid in case of spillage.
