CAT Reactors: 7, 18 or 24 Vial, Manual Catalysis Screening Reactor

CAT 7, 18 or 24 Vial, Manual Catalysis Screening Reactor

The CAT 7, 18, and 24 are manual catalyst screening reactors, supporting 7, 18, and 24 vials, respectively. Each unit is asingle vessel into which sample vials are placed, with the CAT 7 supporting 10 ml vials, the CAT 18, 2 ml vials, and the CAT 24 holding 4 ml vials. The samplevials within the CAT reactor blocks are stirred and heated on a hot plate under manual operation. They are held at the same pressure and temperature, enabling replicates to be performed within the same experiment, thereby accelerating development time.

Features and Options:

Vessel Types and Volumes

CAT 7:Designed to be used with 7 standard 10 ml vials



CAT 18: Designed to be used with 18 standard 2 ml vials



CAT 24: This allows the use of 24 open-top vials to be used at high pressure and temperature. The typical test volume is around 1 ml



Temperature

All samples within each vessel are maintained at the same temperature and pressure, up to100 bar / 250 °C.

Reactor block temperature can be monitored directlyvia a thermocouple probe.

Manual High-Pressure Reactor

Valves and pressure gauge provided to manually purge (for example, inert) and further pressurize with reacting gas (for example, hydrogenation), up to 100 bar.

Stirring Available

Magnetic stirring in each reaction vial

Sample Integrity

To prevent carryover, the vials can be fitted with septa.

For larger vessels used in the CAT 7 and 24, the lids are fitted with cold fingers, which are chilled by an external coolant (eg tap water), to mitigatethe crossover of vapors between reaction vessels.
