Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station

Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station

The patented Carousel 6 Plus offers parallel chemistry in the most universally accepted chemistry reaction vessel, the round bottom flask.

Heat, stir and reflux multiple samples

• Accepts round bottom flasks, including vessels with one or two sidearms: 5 ml, 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml, 170 ml and 250 ml.

• Powerful, even stirring – fits on to a Carousel stirring hotplate

• Rapid heating to 180 ˚C

Quick to set-up and easy to use

• Perform chemical reactions under an inert atmosphere

• Water cooled aluminium reflux head

• Easy viewing of flask contents during experiments

• PTFE caps feature a ‘quick-thread’ for fast attachment to flasks

Operate under an inert atmosphere

An integral radial gas distribution system in the Carousel 6 Plus reflux/inerting head combines with individual gas-tight Easy-On PTFE caps, which screw directly onto the reflux tube of each flask, to distribute inert gas to all 6 vessels. To purge the flasks simply connect the central gas inlet via flexible tubing to a two-way stopcock then, by alternating between vacuum and inert gas, the flasks are quickly purged of unwanted air. This easy to use inerting feature is ideal for reactions requiring an air or moisture-free environment. Acetal quick-release coupling on top of the reflux head facilitates supply of inert gas or vacuum.

Easy-On PTFE caps

The PTFE caps are an essential component of the Carousel 6 Plus. Manufactured from a chemically-resistant PTFE the caps are attached to the reflux tube/flask using a quick-thread and feature an Easy-On push connection to the radial gas system. The caps include an on/off valve for isolation and removal from the inert gas system. A replaceable silicone Suba-Seal septum allows the addition or removal of reagents or samples using a suitable syringe.

Wide range of flask sizes & reducing inserts

The Carousel 6 Plus accepts round bottom flasks including: 5 ml, 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml, 170 ml and 250 ml sizes. The range includes flasks with wide necks, baffles and also specialist Azeotropic flasks.

These aluminium reducing inserts fit into the 250 ml wells of the Carousel 6 Plus to allow the use of smaller flasks. Inserts are available for 5 ml, 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml and 170 ml flasks.
