The affordability of the Carousel 6 brings all the productivity benefits of parallel synthesis to individual chemists at a fraction of the cost of comparable systems
The Carousel 6 reaction station from Radleys provides busy laboratories with an easy-to-use tool that simultaneously heat and stirs up to six 5ml, 10ml, 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 170ml or 250ml round bottomed flasks with the ability to work under inert gas and reflux.
Aluminium inserts provide the flexibility for different size reaction flasks to be used in the same single system.
Designed by chemists for chemists, the Carousel 6 is easy to set-up and requires minimal training time.
The small footprint of the Carousel 6 means that it uses the minimum of fume cupboard space.
The unit allows each reaction flask to be clearly visible and easily accessible for addition of reagents.
With no electrical or moving parts the Carousel 6 has proven itself in thousands of installations worldwide to be reliable and maintenance free.
The Carousel 6 can be configured to simultaneously stir up to six reactions at up to +180C, in a range of round bottomed flasks from 5ml to 250ml.
An integral reflux head with central gas inlet and radial distribution system, combined with gas-tight PTFE caps, allows these reactions to be carried out under an inert atmosphere.
For reactions requiring sub-ambient operation the Carousel 6 offers a robust HDPE cooling reservoir option that is compatible with a wide range of freezing mixtures, including dry ice/acetone enabling efficient operation from ambient down to -70C.
Where effective stirring of highly viscous liquids is required - the Tornado overhead stirring system integrates with the Carousel 6 to provide direct stirring of flask contents with PTFE stirring blades.
