Glass reactor is a kind of equipment used for chemical reactions in laboratories and industrial production. It is characterized by the use of double-layer glass structure, which can accurately control the reaction temperature and is widely used in biopharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and new material synthesis. The following will explain in detail the characteristics, working principles and applications of glass reactors in various fields:
Basic concept
1.Definition: Glass reactor is an experimental equipment that uses double-layer glass structure for chemical reactions. It is mainly used for stirring, distillation, reflux and extraction.
2.Structural features: It is composed of double-layer glass. The inner layer is placed with reaction solvent for stirring reaction; the outer interlayer is connected with cold and heat sources to achieve heating or cooling of the inner layer reactants.
Working principle
1.Heating and cooling mechanism: By passing freezing liquid or hot oil into the interlayer, the glass reactor can achieve low-temperature or high-temperature reactions with a wide temperature range, from -80℃ to 300℃.
2.Pressure regulation: The equipment can work under normal pressure or negative pressure to meet the needs of different experimental conditions.
Product Features
1.Excellent material: Made of high borosilicate glass (GG-17), it has good physical and chemical properties, can withstand high and low temperature changes, and has high transparency, which is convenient for observing the reaction process.
2.Precise temperature control: Equipped with Pt100 sensor probe, it has high temperature measurement accuracy, small error, and improves work efficiency.
3.Sealing performance: It uses PTFE components for sealing, maintains a high-precision sealing state, and avoids leakage of reactants.
Application areas
1.Biopharmaceuticals: It is used in various biological reaction processes, such as enzyme catalysis, cell culture, etc., and provides ideal equipment for modern biopharmaceuticals.
2.Fine chemicals: It is suitable for various chemical reaction processes that require precise temperature control.
3.New material synthesis: It is used for the synthesis research of new materials, such as nanomaterials, polymer materials, etc.
Precautions
1.Inspect before installation: Make sure that the glass is not damaged, the interfaces are matched, and apply vacuum grease to ensure sealing.
2.Correct operation: Slowly increase the speed after turning on the power, and gradually decelerate to the stop state before stopping to avoid damage to mechanical parts.
3.Regular maintenance: Clean the sealing ring and interface, keep it clean, and avoid the connector biting due to long-term locking.
Maintenance
1.Cleaning and maintenance: After use, the reactor should be thoroughly cleaned, especially the interface and stirring paddle, to keep the equipment clean and tidy.
2.Regular inspection: Regularly check the functional components of the glass reactor, such as the sealing ring, stirring system and temperature sensor, to ensure their normal operation.
The glass reactor, with its unique double-layer glass design, achieves a stable reaction environment at high and low temperatures, while ensuring the safety and convenience of the experiment. It is widely used in biopharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, new material synthesis and other fields, and has become one of the indispensable equipment in modern laboratories. Correct operation and maintenance can not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also ensure the accuracy and reliability of experimental data.
