New Product: Combinatory Chemistry & High-Throughput Screening

Combinatory Chemistry & High-Throughput Screening Instruments From Parr Instrument Company

Five Reactor Parallel System

This Parallel Reactor System incorporates five 160 mL, 4560 Series Stirred Micro Reactors rated for use at 350 °C and 3000 psig / 200 bar. Each of the reactors has a dedicated high pressure (5000 psig / 340 bar) 100 mL general purpose vessel associated with it serving as a reactant gas feed reservoir. These feed vessels are conveniently located above and immediately behind the main reactors. The feed vessels are each equipped with a dedicated pressure transducer, thermocouple and a constant pressure regulator. The regulator maintains the downstream reactor at a constant pressure while the pressure transducer thermocouple combination allows the process controller to accurately monitor and record the real-time consumption of reactant gas. This system would normally be used to study various aspects of hydrogenation or carbonylation reactions.

The 4871 Process Controller also controls and records the reactor temperature, stirring speed and monitors the reaction pressure. The compact reactor system stand incorporates not only reactant gas feed & vent / purge manifolds but cooling water feed & drain manifolds to simplify the installation and hook up. Two emergency stop switches are located at each end of the cart allowing the operator to manually initiate a preprogrammed shutdown of the system.

16 Station Multiple Reactor System

This system is a combination of sixteen standard 4560 Mini Reactors with heaters, valves, pressure gage and rupture disc assemblies and two 4871 Process Controllers with sixteen 4875 Power Controllers. It allows the user to run multiple reactions simultaneously, applying the principles of high-throughput experimentation. Individual variables that can be controlled are gas mixtures, liquids, catalysts or other solids, stirring speed, temperature, pressure and time.

12 Station HPCL System

This system makes use of the lower cost 5500 High Pressure Compact Lab Reactors that feature a modified stand, aluminum block heaters, removable vessels and a standard gage block assembly. A control system (not pictured) automates the process, monitors the parameters and collects the data. Parr also provides a standard Multi Reactor System in the 5000 MRS pictured below.

5000 Multiple Reactor System (MRS)

The 5000 MRS comes standard with six reactors, a gas distribution panel, magnetic stirring motor and stirring bars, and a 4871 Controller to monitor and control the parameters.
