Benchmark Tool for Synthetic Chemistry

The Carousel 6 reaction station from Radleys sets the benchmark for individual chemists that require ease of use, operational versatility and productivity in a benchtop synthetic workstation.

The Carousel 6 provides chemists with a simple and convenient tool to productively undertake both small and larger scale syntheses, to operate at elevated or sub-ambient temperatures and to cope with almost any reaction medium effectively - even highly viscous solutions.

The affordability of the Carousel 6 brings all the productivity benefits of parallel synthesis to individual chemists at a fraction of the cost of any other comparable system. Advantageously the small footprint of the Carousel 6 means that it uses very little fume cupboard space. Designed by chemists for chemists, the Carousel 6 is very easy to set-up and requires minimal training time. The unit allows each flask to be clearly visible and easily accessible for addition of reagents and solvents. Drop-in aluminium inserts enable reaction flasks to be quickly inserted or removed. With no electrical or moving parts the Carousel 6 has proven itself in thousands of installations worldwide to be reliable and maintenance free.

The Carousel 6 has been designed to simultaneously heat and stir up to six 5ml to 250ml round bottomed flasks. The 5ml flask allows a working volume as low as 1ml, which is particularly useful for applications where samples or reagents are expensive or scarce. An extensive range of reaction flask sizes and options enables the system to accommodate the addition of solid or liquid reagents as well as performing azeotropic distillations.
