Can you supply a custom lid for my jacketed lab reactor?

The standard glass lids for our reaction systems are as follows:

For Reactor-Ready and Reactor-Ready Duo:

• RR136000: 5 Neck Lid DN100 – 1 x B19, 2 x B24, 1 x B29, 1 x B34

For Reactor-Ready Pilot (choice of 2):

• RR236000: 6 Neck Lid DN200 – 1 x B19, 1 x B24, 1 x B29, 2 x B34, 1 x B45
• RR236002: 7 Neck Lid DN200 – 1 x B19, 1 x B24, 1 x B29, 3 x B34, 1 x B45

For Lara:

• LR140025: Lara 5 Neck Lid DN100 – 1 x B19, 2 x B24, 1 x B29, 1 x B34

Our glassblowing workshop can make custom lids, but the diameter of each lid limits the number/size of necks (also called sockets or lid ports).  The central socket would need to remain the same, to fit the appropriate Radleys stirrer guide.

If you think you need a custom lid, please contact us with full details of the number and size of sockets and why you think they are required – what equipment (glassware accessories) you will be using on the lid.  We will then be able to assess your requirements, and determine what we can offer you.  It may be that a standard lid would be suitable for you after all – for example, you can feed from two or three peristaltic pumps into one socket using an adapter, and an adapter for inert gas or vacuum typically fits on top of a condenser.

A PTFE lid may also be a suitable option – see the separate FAQ entry, ‘Can you supply PTFE lids for my jacketed lab reactor?’
