Description
The Across International R-Series Jacketed Glass Reactors are designed for controlled synthetic reactions in laboratory and pilot-scale environments. These advanced reactor systems allow precise control of temperature, vacuum, and stirring speed, making them ideal for chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical development, material science research, and process chemistry applications.
Each R-Series reactor features a high borosilicate glass reaction vessel, solvent-resistant PTFE sealing components, and a heavy-duty stainless steel support structure. The integrated constant pressure feeding funnel enables controlled material addition, while the built-in vertical condenser system allows efficient condensation and recovery of reaction vapors.
These reactors support a wide temperature operating range from -110°F to 400°F, allowing use with both heating circulators and recirculating chillers.
Key Features
Precision Reaction Control
R-Series glass reactors provide precise control of key reaction variables:
-
Temperature regulation through jacketed vessel circulation
-
Adjustable stirring speed
-
Controlled material feeding
-
Vacuum operation for reduced pressure reactions
This makes them ideal for complex chemical synthesis and reaction optimization.
High-Quality Borosilicate Glass Construction
All glass components are hand-crafted from high borosilicate glass 3.3, providing:
-
Excellent chemical resistance
-
High thermal shock resistance
-
Exceptional durability in laboratory environments
