• Rapid heating to 220 ˚C and cooling to -78 ˚C
• Read more about the cooling options
• Quick to set-up and easy to use
• Easy viewing of tube contents during experiments
• Removable water-cooled reflux head

An effective personal synthesis station

• Perform reactions under an inert atmosphere
• Fluoropolymer coating for chemical resistance and easy cleaning
• PTFE caps feature a ‘quick-thread’ for fast attachment to glass tubes
• Removable reflux head enables all reaction tubes to be to be removed simultaneously for transfer to a stand or for rapid post synthesis cooling

Easy viewing of tube contents

Viewing slots in the heated base allow a view of tube contents during synthesis. The Carousel’s circular design allows easy rotation of the unit providing access to all tubes without having to lean into the fume hood.

Removable reflux/inerting head

An innovative removable reflux/inerting head allows the removal of the head with the tubes in situ. This allows the reflux/inerting head to be easily transferred between the heated base, the stand or the cooling reservoir, providing the user with maximum flexibility.

Chemical-resistant fluoropolymer coating

The Carousel’s fluoropolymer coating offers heightened chemical resistance, minimises the effects of chemical attack and makes the surface easier to clean.

Insulating plate improves heating and energy efficiency

The 2-piece PTFE insulating plate sits over the Carousel’s heated base and acts as a barrier to heat loss for faster heating and energy savings of up to 36%.

Carousel 12 Plus Stand

The Carousel stand is designed to support the reflux/inerting head either with or without reaction tubes. The heavy duty metal stand is fluoropolymer coated for improved chemical resistance and ease of cleaning. The integral drip tray catches any dripping condensation from tubes and gives excellent stability. Use between reactions. Use when loading tubes. Use for reactions that require rapid air cooling.

Carousel 12 Plus Systems

Easy-On PTFE Caps

The PTFE caps are an essential component of the Carousel 12 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.

Durable glass reaction tubes

Manufactured from high quality, heavy-walled borosilicate glass, the tubes are precision engineered to maximise heat transfer from the heated base and cooled reflux head. This ensures that all tubes are heated and cooled at the same rate. Standard tubes have a reaction volume of 5 to 20ml. Reduced volume tubes have a reaction volume of 1 to 5ml.

Case Studies in Catalysis - Success Stories and Tips for More Efficient Reactions

In our latest webinar ‘Case Studies in Catalysis – Success Stories and Tips for More Efficient Reactions’ we will share success stories and tips for more efficient catalysis. We will discuss a range of topics including how catalysis is cleaner and greener, solid supported catalysts, and working up multiple reactions with ease.

Webinar: Consistent Scaling Up

Scaling up chemical reactions can present a number of challenges with respect to efficient mixing, mass transfer, controlling exothermic reactions, heat transfer and reaction kinetics.

In this webinar we discussed some simple guidelines which apply when scaling chemical reactions up or scaling down to predict or reproduce conditions observed in the larger scale manufacturing environment.

Webinar: Introducing - Productivity and Parallel Chemistry tools

An introduction to the range of productivity and parallel chemistry tools in the Radleys range with a live demonstration and hands on approach.

Webinar: Unleash your humble hotplate – it can do so much more than you think

Are you making the most of your hotplate?

Louisa Quegan and Keren Abecassis share their chemistry lab hacks: showing you a range of tools you might not know about.

From 1 position to 45 on a single hotplate – with working volumes between 0.5 ml and 2.5 L. Lou and Keren discuss their personal experience in the lab using traditional methods vs. this range of tools.
