What are the details to consider when choosing a glass reactor

A glass reactor is a laboratory vessel,usually made of glass,that can be used for chemical reactions,mixing and heating.It is characterised by good corrosion resistance and transparency,allowing the reaction process to be observed.

The following factors need to be considered when shopping for a glass reactor:

1.Capacity of reaction kettle:choose the volume size according to the experimental needs.Generally speaking,the larger the capacity,the longer the reaction time,but it also means a higher price.

2.Shape of reactor:The reactor is usually cylindrical or conical.Cylindrical kettle is more uniform to flow,but cleaning is difficult;conical kettle is easier to clean,but less suitable for the reaction of uneven mixing.

3.Design structure:The design of the reactor should be easy to operate and clean,such as the way to open the lid of the kettle,the design of the inlet and outlet.In addition,it should also consider whether the stirring system of the reactor is uniform,and how efficient the heating and cooling are.

4.Temperature control:whether the glass reactor is equipped with precise temperature control system,whether it can satisfy the temperature range and precision required in your experiment.

5.Pressure control:For experiments that require sealed reaction,the pressure control capability of the reactor is a must,which should ensure that the equipment can work safely under the pressure required by the experiment.

6.Nature of chemicals:Select the material and coating of the reactor according to the chemicals used in the experiment.For example,for acidic substances,the reactor should be made of acid-resistant material or coated with acid-resistant coating.

7.Stirring method:Stirring methods usually include mechanical stirring and magnetic stirring.Mechanical stirring provides greater stirring force and is suitable for high viscosity reactions;magnetic stirring does not mechanically affect the reaction and is suitable for low viscosity reactions.

8.Safety device:including overheating protection,over-voltage protection and other safety functions,to ensure that in abnormal circumstances can be timely protection of experimental operators and equipment safety.

9.Brand and Price:Brand and price need to be considered.Choosing a branded product ensures quality and after-sales service,but it also means a higher price.Also need to choose the right product according to your budget.

10.Budget:Choose a cost-effective product based on the lab's budget,while considering maintenance and operating costs over the long term.

11.Certifications and standards:Ensure that the selected products comply with relevant national or industry standards and certifications,such as ISO certification.

12.User Evaluation:View other users'evaluations to understand the actual use of the product and possible problems.

Selection of glass reactor needs to be based on the experimental needs to consider the capacity,shape,material,stirring mode,pressure and temperature resistance,safety performance,brand and price and other factors,and trade-offs,in order to obtain the right product for their experimental needs.
