The Buchiglas picoclave is a multipurpose pressure reactor system designed for the use of interchangeable glass and steel pressure vessels. Safety features guarantee safe reactions under pressure.
The glass reactors ensure high resistance against acids, while allowing visual process control and monitoring. It is also possible to use steel pressure vessels for high pressure reactions. The magnetic drive ensures efficient mixing and stirring of the process media as well as excellent heat transfer.
The Fast Action Closure makes changing vessels quick and easy without the use of tools.
The modular setup of the picoclave system allows changing or upgrading for new tasks at any time.
A wide range of accessories is available – talk to us to define the right setup for your specific need.
