Parr – 5500 High Pressure Compact Laboratory Reactors for 25 – 600 ml

Familiar Parr Designs
All of the safety, convenience and reliability features which have been the hallmark of Parr pressure reaction equipment for more than 50 years have been incorporated into a new line of high pressure, compact laboratory reactors. (HPCL Reactors.)

The Series 5500 HPCL Reactors are based upon our popular micro and mini, Series 4590 & 4560 Reactors. There are several differences between these new reactors and their original counterparts. Primarily, these are:
1. A smaller, more compact magnetic drive is installed.
2. A smaller, more compact variable speed stirrer motor.
3. The larger support stand, overarm and motor have been eliminated.
4. An Aluminum Block Heater also serves as the support stand.

As a result of these changes, we are now able to offer these new reactors to users who do not require the wide variety of options and expandability provided by our Series 4500 Reactors at a significantly lower cost. These new designs will be welcomed by not only investigators with limited space or budgets, but also by investigators building multiple reactor installations for combinatorial chemistry or high throughput investigations.

The reaction vessels used in these new HPCL reactors are identical to the ones furnished in the Series 4590 Micro and Series 4560 Mini Reactors. HPCL Reactors use the popular Parr split ring closure. These vessels are rated for a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi. The maximum operating temperature is dependent upon the seal selected, PTFE gasket for up to 350 °C; with FKM O-ring to 225 °C or FFKM O-ring to 300 °C.
