effective low temperature parallel synthesis
Available
from Radleys Discovery Technologies (RDT) the Cooled Carousel Reaction
Station range brings all the benefits low cost parallel synthesis
to applications that require sub-ambient temperatures down to -70°C.

Based
on the patented Carousel design, the Cooled Carousel fits onto a
standard IKA or Carousel stirrer and can simultaneously perform
a choice of six or twelve cooled and stirred parallel solution phase
or solid supported reagent based syntheses. Vigorous stirring and
efficient mixing in each of the individual tubes or flasks (with
working volumes from 10ml to 250ml) is provided by rare earth stirring
bars. A central gas inlet and radial gas distribution system, combined
with gas-tight PTFE caps, allow cooled reactions to be carried out
under an inert atmosphere.
The
Cooled Carousel's robust HDPE 'cooling reservoir' is compatible
with a wide range of manual freezing mixtures, including dry ice/acetone
for efficient cooling from ambient down to -70°C. The cooling
reservoir's innovative design incorporates an insulated foam core,
which maintains low temperatures for in excess 8 hours, whilst protecting
the stirrer from freezing. It also reduces condensation and ice
formation on outer surfaces. A cover minimises the risk of 'solvent
spitting' and eliminates the risk of spilling reactive/pyrophoric
reagents into the cooling mixture. For added convenience, an HDPE
stand is supplied to provide support for the removable cooling head,
allowing the reaction tubes to warm-up to ambient, post synthesis.
Every
aspect of Cooled Carousel range has been designed for convenience
and ease of use. The absence of electrical or moving parts ensures
maintenance free operation. The round design means that all reaction
tubes are visible eliminating the need to lean into the fume cupboard.
