Supercritical Fluid Technologies has introduced its latest high pressure reactor specifically designed for small batch reaction chemistry.
The HPR-Micro Reactor is especially well suited for research, process development, and screening applications when reagents, catalysts, or other essential materials are expensive or available in very limited supply.
The reactor comes standard with a 10 millilitre Iconel 625 stainless steel reactor vessel for operation up to 10,000 psi (689 Bar / 68.9 MPa), inlet and outlet valves and a pressure gauge.
Depending upon the temperature option selected, operation from -40°C to 150°C is possible and the reactor is equipped with magnetically coupled stirring for optimal mixing.
All high pressure components are ASME compliant designed and overall assembly is protected by a rupture disc assembly for safe operation.
It is compact and can fit into a fume hood and can be easily removed from the mounting stand and brought to a glove box for reactant and reagent loading under an inert atmosphere.
Additionally, multiple inlet ports are included for addition of solvents, reagents, or gases. An optional Reagent Injection Manifold increases versatility by providing a means to add a precise amount of reagent at any time during the course of the reaction. Standard addition quantities include 2.0, 1.0 and 0.5 millilitres.
Supercritical Fluid Technologies will be exhibiting its micro reactor range at Pittcon 2014.
