Carousel 6 Reaction Station

Carousel 6 will increase the productivity of your chemistry.
Choose from 5ml, 10ml, 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 170ml or 250ml round bottom reaction flasks...

The Carousel 6 utilises the same technology as the popular Carousel 12 Plus to simultaneously stir and heat up to six round bottomed flasks. The reaction station is designed to be used by individual chemists in their own fume cupboard. The affordability of the Carousel 6 brings all the benefits in productivity of multiple parallel synthesis to the chemist at a fraction of the cost of any other comparable system.

Wide choice of reaction flasks
Provides six heated and stirred glass reaction positions. Expanded range of glass vessels includes 5ml, 10ml, 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 170ml & 250ml round bottom flasks, as well as vessels with one or two sidearms and Azeotropic (Dean & Stark).

Fits on standard stirring hotplates
Heated directly by the stirrers hotplate providing an operating temperature range from ambient to +180°C. Digital temperature control +/- 0.5°C. Utilises the single rotating magnetic field of the hotplate stirrer to stir all the positions evenly and powerfully. New rare earth elliptical PTFE stirring bar provides powerful stirring and a deep vortex. Fits on a standard IKA or Carousel stirring hotplate.

Central inlet/outlet for vacuum and gas
PTFE cap features an all PTFE valve, which offers superior solvent resistance, gas tight sealing and easy operation. Central inlet/outlet for vacuum and gas, combined with a radial gas distribution system and gas-tight PTFE caps allow reactions under an inert atmosphere.

Fast heating
Round aluminium base transmits heating rapidly and evenly to all positions. Boils six flasks of water in less than 25 minutes. Compact size with small bench-top footprint for easy to store. PTFE heat protection ring helps protect user from contact with hot base. Round design makes all reaction flasks visible, with no need to lean into the fume cupboard.

Evaporation
Choice of three rotary evaporator adapters make connection to any rotary evaporator with a B29 cone, including IKA, Heidolph and Buchi and one for USA 24/40 socket to B24 cone. All Carousel 6 place reaction flasks are compatible with the full range of Genevac centrifugal evaporators.

Efficient refluxing
Water cooled aluminium reflux head provides efficient refluxing within individual glass reaction flasks. Quick-release couplings prevent water loss during set-up/breakdown. Aluminium inserts allow easy removal of flasks and good heat transfer for refluxing

Cooled Carousel 6 Reaction Station

The Cooled Carousel 6 will simultaneously stir and cool up to six
5ml, 10ml, 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 170ml or 250ml round bottomed flasks.

The Cooled Carousel 6 is designed to be used by individual chemists in their own fume cupboard to perform chilled reactions to -70°C.

Robust HDPE cooling reservoir is compatible with a wide range of freezing mixtures including dry ice/acetone for manually controlled cooling from ambient to -70°C.

• Insulated foam core maintains low temperatures for long periods, whilst protecting the stirrer from freezing. Also reduces condensation and ice formation on outer surfaces.
• 
  A stainless steel central inlet/outlet for vacuum and inert gas, combined with a radial gas distribution system and gas-tight PTFE caps, allow reactions under an inert atmosphere.

Round design makes all reaction flasks visible and allows easy addition of reagents and solvents, with no need to lean into the fume cupboard.
