The Swiben high pressure reactor is a benchtop SS304 autoclave that combines stirring, heating, and pressurized reaction in a single unit. It has a 500ml volume, a 70mm inner diameter, and a 150mm inner height, with a 14mm reactor wall thickness.

A static sealing structure keeps the medium and stirring components fully enclosed, which suits work with flammable, volatile, toxic, or otherwise penetrating chemical media. It is intended for gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, and liquid-solid reactions in research and teaching settings.

The unit is configured for laboratory-scale hydrothermal synthesis and similar high pressure chemistry where controlled temperature and agitation are required.

How It Works

The vessel seals through a gasketed or tapered/arc contact surface that is compressed by tightening the main nut, eliminating leakage at the stirring interface. A magnetic heating mantle delivers up to 1.5kW of heat to bring the contents to temperature, while mechanical stirring runs up to 1000 r/min. After the reaction completes, the vessel is allowed to cool to room temperature before the lid is opened.
