About Safety Settings for Glass Reactors

    A glass reactor is a widely used laboratory instrument for organic synthesis, material extraction, catalytic reaction, and purification. With features such as transparency, corrosion resistance, high thermal load capacity, and vacuum adaptability, it has become indispensable in both research laboratories and pilot-scale production.

At Nanbei Instruments, our glass reactors are designed for durability, safety, and efficiency, making them ideal for teaching, scientific experiments, production, and industrial scale-up. However, proper safety settings must be implemented to ensure smooth and secure operation.

1. Install Gas Detection Alarms

Due to the large reaction volume of glass reactors, volatile solvents may increase the air concentration in surrounding areas. For safety, a gas alarm must be installed to monitor hazardous fumes in real time.

2. Keep Experimental Areas Clear

To ensure smooth emergency passages, avoid piling solvents, waste, or debris near the reactor. A clear laboratory environment reduces the risk of accidents and facilitates safe evacuation if needed.

3. Use Explosion-proof Configurations

For special or hazardous experiments, an explosion-proof glass reactor should be considered. Unlike standard models, these reactors feature explosion-proof stirring motors, power switches, and controllers, making them suitable for flammable or complex experimental conditions.

4. Equip Firefighting Tools

In laboratories where double-layer glass reactors are used, proper firefighting tools must be installed, and operators trained in their use. Fire extinguishers, sand buckets, and emergency showers are recommended.

Advanced Functions of Lab Glass Reactors

Nanbei glass reactors not only support continuous material reactions but can also be paired with high-temperature or low-temperature circulation devices. This allows for continuous distillation, purification, synthesis, and material separation under controlled conditions.

 Conclusion

Glass reactors are vital for safe and efficient lab operations, but safety settings must not be ignored. By installing alarms, keeping the workspace clean, choosing explosion-proof models, and preparing fire safety tools, laboratories can minimize risks while enhancing efficiency.
