In this video we demonstrate the key features of the Reactor-Ready Duo jacketed lab reactor system. Reactor-Ready Duo is an innovative benchtop reaction work station with interchangeable jacketed glass reactor vessels with volumes from 100 mL to 5 litres. 

Reactor-Ready Duo holds two independent jacketed reactor vessels in a single compact framework. The system can be configured to operate with a single thermoregulator or circulators controlling the jacket temperature of both vessels simultaneously; or with two thermoregulators controlling the temperature of each vessel independently. 

Reactor-Ready Duo is ideal for organic chemistry, process development, medicinal chemistry, R&D research, polymer chemistry, academic research, API manufacture and CRO or contract synthesis.   

Reactor-Ready Duo can be used for:
• Parallel synthesis or reaction optimisation, using similar or different size vessels and varying stirring speed, stirrer shape and temperature between vessels.
• Two stage reactions where you can transfer reactant from one vessel to the other using vacuum or a pump.
•Or as a single reaction vessel, using the second vessel as either a receiving or feed vessel (where reagents can be pre-heated or pre-cooled prior to addition).

Reactor-Ready Duo also offers a range of accessories such as condensers, temperature probes, glass and PTFE lids, PTFE impellers and reflux divider kits. You can also automate your jacketed lab reactor system with our AVA Lab Control Software which controls and data logs all the periphery devices connected to your jacketed lab reactor, such as overhead stirrers, circulators and gravimetric additions modules for accurate liquid dosing. 

Reactor-Ready Duo Features include: 
• Holds two chemical glass reaction vessels
• Rapid vessel exchange with quick-release vessel clamps and wide bore hose couplings.
• Range of standard (single and vacuum jacketed) vessels – 250 ml to 5 L.
• Range of process (single and vacuum jacketed) vessels - 100 ml to 5 L Process Vessels. mimic the geometry of plant scale reactors and feature a 1.25 to 1 ratio of internal height to internal diameter, with dish shaped bottom.
• DN100 vessel flange. 
• Accepts all leading brands of overhead stirrer and allows easy, tool free adjustment. 
• Compact stainless steel framework accepts all vessel sizes. 
• Self aligning stirrer coupling engages without the need for tools. 
• Temperature range: -70 ˚C to +230 ˚C (thermofluid temperature). 
• Innovative hose manifolds allow easy thermofluid drain down. 
• Wide range of accessory glassware including condensers, dropping funnels etc. 
• Optional software allows you to log and control 3rd party devices.

Reactor-Ready Duo jacketed glass reactor - two interchangeable vessels on one framework

When magnetic stirring is not enough (e.g. viscous materials, heterogeneous mixtures), there is usually a need for mechanical stirring, or overhead stirring. But setting up overhead stirrers on a small scale can be expensive, limited by fumehood space, and time-consuming, especially for multiple reactions.

With the Tornado Overhead Stirring system from Radleys, you can stir up to 6 round bottom flasks with single overhead stirrer. Each reaction can be set up in seconds.

Tornado is an add-on to the popular Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station. When combined, they allow you to heat, mechanically stir and reflux 1 to 6 reactions under an inert atmosphere.

The Tornado will work with all popular brands of overhead stirrer including the Heidolph Hei-TORQUE and IKA Eurostar brands.

This video shows a demonstration of the Tornado Overhead Stirring system including: 
• Key features and benefits
• Glassware assembly
• Magnetic stirring vs Tornado overhead stirring with a range of common fluids and viscosities.

If you want to find out more about the Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station, you can watch a demonstration here: https://youtu.be/vQHDjfNoASY

The Tornado allows powerful, controlled mechanical stirring of up to six round bottom flasks when combined with the Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station; offering unrivalled stirring for both viscous samples and for the dispersion of delicate solids in solution.

• Integrates with Carousel 6 Plus to provide heated and stirred reactions
• Rapid heating to 180 ˚C, with water-cooled reflux head
• Perform reactions under an inert atmosphere
• Accepts 50 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml round bottom flasks
• Uses a single overhead stirrer – save space and money compared with multiple set-ups
• Compatible with all leading brands of overhead stirrer
• 2-speed drive allows overhead stirrers with less torque to be used for higher viscosities

This video demonstrates how simple it is to connect a device to AVA Lab Control Software and automate your Jacketed Lab Reactor. AVA allows you to automate your chemistry, to perform controlled additions with your organic reactions and control your jacketed reactor. Our laboratory software will control up to 4 reaction systems as well as control and data log multiple devices connected to any lab reactor or lab reactor system.

Control up to 4 reaction systems with up to 16 devices on one screen
Create complex experiments with any number of steps in series or parallel
Pre-program multi-step recipes, with the flexibility to make and track on-the-fly adjustments
Interlink devices and set feedback/control loops, end-point conditions and safety limits
Automate cooling of your Jacketed Lab Reactor during exothermic events
Link devices such as balances and pumps for controlled, unattended reagent addition
Define safety overrides and cut-off conditions

With AVA, reaction parameters are automatically logged so that the user is able to repeat experiments accurately for reproducible and consistent results. Reports can be created in a few clicks and the data can be exported as a CSV file for further analysis making it a powerful tool for process chemists, kilo labs, research and development and scale-up chemists alike.

Take a look at three smart chemistry equipment that can improve the safety and sustainability in your chemistry laboratory.

If you use round bottom flasks, liebig condensers, magnetic stirrer hot plates, oil heating baths or heating mantles, these ideas can help make you synthetic chemistry safer, cleaner, greener and more productive.

Magnetic stirring hotplate
Our hotplates allow magnetic stirring and heating, with fast heat-up times and excellent heat transfer. Learn what makes a great hot plate stirrer that will last you years.

Waterless chemistry condenser
Condense without flowing water using the Findenser waterless air condenser, replacing the need for liebig, allihn and other glass condensers. Tests carried out on solvents with boiling points from 40 degrees C to 90 degrees C show that it is comparable with a water condenser performance. The Findenser air condenser also allows chemists to carry out reflux reactions overnight without the risk of leaks or worse still, flooding your lab.

Heat-On - the safe alternative to oil baths
The safest, fastest and cleanest way to heat and stir round bottom flasks from 10 ml to 5 Litres. Heat-On aluminium heating blocks replace messy oil baths and heating mantles. Heat-On will reduce oil spills and oil fires in your chemistry lab.

These clever chemistry tools will help towards a more sustainable and greener chemistry laboratory by reducing water consumption, remove the use of nasty heating oils, reduce power consumption and improved safety.

Smart ideas for your organic chemistry lab - Setting up a reflux safely on your stirring hotplate
