The Carousel 6 reaction station from Radleys can be configured to simultaneously stir up to six reactions at -85C to +200C, in a range of round-bottom flasks from 5ml to 250ml.
Drop-in aluminium inserts provide the flexibility for different size reaction flasks to be used in a single system.
An integral reflux head with central gas inlet and radial distribution system, combined with PTFE caps, allows reactions to be carried out under an inert atmosphere.
The affordability and modularity of the Carousel 6 brings parallel synthesis to individual chemists at a fraction of the cost of comparable systems, according to Radleys.
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-hood space.
The unit allows each reaction flask to be clearly visible and accessible for addition of reagents.
With no electrical or moving parts, the Carousel 6 is said to be reliable and maintenance free.
It has a range of add-on modules to enhance its functionality.
These include the Storm heating/cooling workstation for controlled temperature profiles such as crystallisation studies.
Plus the Tornado overhead stirring module, which allows the stirring of viscous liquids such as polymers, with a range of PTFE stirring blades.
