A glass reactor is a type of laboratory equipment used to perform chemical reactions. It is made of a cylindrical vessel with a jacket or jacketed glass and is used to mix, heat, or cool chemical reactions. The size of a glass reactor refers to the volume of the vessel, which is typically measured in liters.
The size of the glass reactor needed for a particular application will depend on the scale of the reaction being performed and the available space and resources. Smaller glass reactors, with a volume of 1 liter or less, are typically used for smaller-scale reactions or for testing and development purposes. Larger glass reactors, with a volume of 10 liters or more, are typically used for larger-scale reactions or for production purposes.
It is important to choose the appropriate size of glass reactor for your application to ensure that you have enough space for the reaction and that you are using the correct scale of equipment. Using a glass reactor that is too small for the reaction can lead to spillovers or overheating while using one that is too large can be unnecessarily expensive and wasteful.
TOPTION offers glass reactors in a variety of sizes and welcomes your choice of customization.
Five Key Advantages of Using Glass Jacketed Reactors
Traditionally, manufacturing processes were initially developed in round-bottom laboratory flasks and then transitioned to small-scale production reactors once the process was ready for testing. Jacketed glass reactors offer a unique alternative, and we will discuss five key advantages of using glass jacketed reactors for development for scale-up testing and how they may benefit your company.
