Labtex have recently installed another 5 litre REACTEX system, this time for a leading drug development and commercialisation services company.
The REACTEX range offers plain, jacketed and vacuum jacketed vessels, an easy drain down system and quick vessel changeover – with standard flange size DN100, spring loaded PTFE no dead space valve with FFKM o-ring, temperature control from -90°C to +250°C, mechanical seal to 1mbar vacuum and a PTFE lid with a self-locating securing ring.
Vessels include a ground DN100 flange with a reduced height, graduations and a 10mm spring loaded no dead space valve with a FFKM o-ring.
Vessels are supplied with PEEK and stainless-steel jacket connections, suitable for M16 insulated hoses – for connection to a suitable cooling/heating circulator.
As standard, the outlet ends with a GL18 thread. Other options are available, for example – a straight tube or DN15 flange.
LIDS AND LID ACCESSORIES
A PTFE DN100 lid with securing ring is supplied with 5 x ½” NPT threads, 4 x PTFE B29 sockets – including the centre joint, and 1 x 8 mm compression fitting for a PT100 probe. The joints are Rodaviss type, ensuring the secure fixing of accessories such as condensers and feed funnels.
A DIEHM mechanical seal provides vacuum capability to 1mbar. The mechanical seal is suitable for use with 10 mm shafts of any material with product contacting parts of glass.
A PFA coated chemically resistant DN100 quick release clamp secures the lid. REACTEX systems are supplied without an overhead stirrer as standard. Any available overhead stirrer can be used, and Labtex can quote for models from IKA, CAT and CAFRAMO.
IMPELLERS
A chemically inert, fully moulded PTFE 4 blade propeller with stainless steel shaft is included in every REACTEX system. Other designs are available, as well as adjustable rotors for mounting anywhere on the shaft.
AUTOMATION
With the HiTec Zang LabBox you can automate REACTEX easily.
The LabBox system is a compact automation system, specially designed for workstations in laboratories or pilot plants – centralize the data acquisition and control of your laboratory equipment.
With the associated software, LabVision, you can measure, visualise and control your experiment more easily than ever before!
