PARALLEL CHEMISTRY REACTOR WITH INTERCHANGEABLE VESSEL CARRYING INSERTS

摘要

The base (A) of the modular reactor includes a frame (10) defining an openin g (9) in which one of a plurality of interchangeable reaction vessel carrying inserts (12) can be received. Each insert (12) has an array of recesses (14) adapted to receive a different number of reaction vessels (16) of different sizes. The frame has fluid flow channels (13) for regulating the temperature of the lower portions of the vessels. A temperature control module (B) can b e received over the base to regulate the temperature of the upper portions of the vessels for reflux reactions. The vessels seat close to the bottom surfa ce of the base to facilitate use with an air driven magnetic stirrer (E). A thi n, electrically heated plate may be received between the base and the stirrer.< /SDOAB>
