Atlas high pressure reactor at a glance
The Atlas Potassium 3 Bar Reactor is designed for chemical processes that require a wide range of operating pressures, such as hydrogenations, carbonylations, or high-vacuum applications.
The basic system allows automatic temperature control from -80 °C to +200 °C, stirrer control of up to 800 RPM or 2000 RPM, and pressure sensing.
- Reactor volumes from 100 mL to 3 L
- Automatic temperature control (-80 °C to +200 °C)
- Stirrer control (up to 800 RPM or 2000 RPM)
- Reactor volumes from 100 mL to 3 L
- Automatic temperature control (-80 °C to +200 °C)

1. Powerful control
The high pressure reactor can be controlled using the Atlas base or the Atlas PC Software, providing a graphical display of pressures, temperatures, etc. Mass flow meters and controllers can also be integrated.
2. Wide Vessel Range with Seamless Interchangeability
Seamlessly drain the oil from your jacketed reactor using the Oil Drain Unit and change reactors in minutes. The system has a wide range of vessels, all rated to 3 bar, including 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L, 2 L or 3 L, with or without a vacuum jacket. The tool-free vessel clamp supports the reactors to ensure safe vessel change without any fuss or spillages.
3. Safe and convenient
The Atlas Potassium 3 bar system combines all the great user features of Atlas with all the safety features you would expect from a pressure system. It is equipped with a factory-set maximum pressure burst disc and pressure relief valve to ensure the glass reactor can never see an unexpected pressure rise. The safety enclosure has been designed to provide that extra peace of mind and to ensure a very safe laboratory.
4. Precise temperature control
The system has a wide temperature range from -80 to +200 °C with accurate thermal control using either the touchscreen base or PC control software. Simply connect a compatible circulator to the base unit or PC software and precision temperature algorithms will ensure your process performs without issues.
5. Easy to use
Consistent with all the systems in the Atlas range, no tools are required, allowing simple twist-and-click configuration of the apparatus, large displays and intuitive control from the base unit or PC software.
Additionally, integrated filters can be used to separate solid catalysts from the mixture, enhancing the efficiency and purity of processes.
6. Stirred Autoclave Functionality
The system is equipped with an optimizedirrer that ensures thorough mixing of reactants, promoting uniform reaction conditions and improving efficiency and yield. Made from high quality materials, the pressure vessel is designed to withstand corrosive environments and maintain integrity under high pressures.
Safety features such as a factory-set maximum pressure burst disc, pressure relief valves, and a robust sealing system prevent leaks and ensure safe operation under elevated pressures. The stirred autoclave can be easily integrated with other modules and accessories, allowing for customized setups tailored to specific research needs.
