Description
The Across International R-Series Jacketed Glass Reactors are designed for synthetic reactions involving a wide range of materials in controlled temperature and vacuum environments. These advanced laboratory reactor systems allow precise control of stirring speed, temperature, and pressure, making them ideal for chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical research, cannabis extraction, and pilot-scale chemical processing.
Each reactor features a pressure-equalizing feeding funnel for controlled material addition, along with a high-efficiency condenser that allows vapor recovery during reactions. Built from high borosilicate glass 3.3 with solvent-resistant PTFE components, the R-Series reactor provides exceptional durability and performance in demanding laboratory environments.
Key Features
Precision Reaction Control
R-Series reactors provide precise control over critical reaction parameters:
• Adjustable stirring speeds
• Controlled heating or cooling through the jacket
• Vacuum operation capability
• Controlled material addition via feeding funnel
These capabilities make the system ideal for synthetic chemistry, process development, and pilot-scale reactions.
