photoLAB - Model Batch-L-400-700 ml -High Volume Photoreactor
photoLAB Batch-L - High volume Photoreactor 400-700 ml. The world’s bestselling batch photoreactor is particularly suitable for carrying out simple basic photochemical research with a product volume of approx. 400-700 ml and is mentioned in many publications. Its simple design makes this photoreactor a universal, flexible standard photoreactor for liquids in which the absorption of the reaction medium is not particularly high and the specific demands on the photoreactor cannot be more closely defined in advance.
The optical path of >2 cm makes it possible to mix the reaction medium with a conventional magnetic stir bar. The corresponding magnetic stir bar creates the condition for a complete and proper mixing of the reaction medium. This allows reactions with a high transmission to be irradiated unproblematically in the course of a feasibility study.
Optionally the photoreactor can be heated or cooled down by means of a temperature control cladding. The sensor port permits the irradiation physics of the system to be measured by the appropriate spectrometer.
The reaction times can be set at any frequency, which ensures a high product turnover close to equilibrium.
The MPDSBASIC Set includes the photonCABINET which is a double walled, light-proof protective cabinet made of stainless steel. I fulfills the legal requirements for personal safety agains optical radiation and protects surrounding materials against aging. The photonCABINET it is the only product on the market that meets the high requirements of the applicable standards, is CE compliant and also practicable and functional for operators. The necessary measures implemented for having a safe and functional product are well designed and protected by international patents.
UV radiation is harmful to eyes and skin and can cause irreparable personal injury. Furthermore materials in the ambient exposed to the UV radiation, will undergo an accelerated aging and can be destroyed. Medium pressure radiation sources have a surface temperature of up to 850° C and operate with lethal high voltage. Solvents may not present a explosion hazard for the user. The operation of photoreactors without optical protective device equipped with safety lock (aluminum foil, acrylic glass) is not allowed since the related normative standard was becoming mandatory (01.10.2013). In addition the risk analysis in accordance with EN ISO 12100 confirm, that an operation without safety cabinet is no longer sufficient and does not meet the requirements to protect employees by the owner / operator of the lab, who can be fully accountable and responsible for personal injury.
Therefore photoreactors of the MPDS modular system always come along initially with the light-proof protective cabinet, which moreover provide the electrical power to the electronic power supplies for operating the radiation sources. Photochemical experiments are therefore absolutely safe. The unique photonCABINET is practicable, easy to use and inexpensive to purchase.
