Radleys Tornado IS6 Overhead Stirring System Featured with Radleys 6 place carousel. For high torque stirring in up to six round bottom flasks simultaneously. For viscous sample, delicate solids in solutions and a wide variety of other applications

Radleys Tornado IS6 Overhead Stirring System

Radleys has created a unique system that allows the mechanical stirring of up to six round-bottomed flasks simultaneously for use with the 6-place Carousel Reaction Station. Tornado’s affordability brings the benefits of multiple parallel synthesis productivity to the chemist at a fraction of the cost of any comparable system.

Powerful and productive

The Tornado IS6 evenly distributes high-torque stirring to all positions of the 6-place Carousel Reaction Station. The result is powerful; parallel overhead stirring even when faced with highly viscous liquids. At its most powerful, Tornado can stir reaction mixtures of up to 10,000 cps at 500 rpm. The system is also well suited for dispersing delicate solids or resins in low viscosity solutions.

Designed to work with the Carousel 6

The Tornado is designed to fit on top of a standard 6-place Carousel Reaction Station, and it is compatible with the full range of Carousel round-bottomed flasks from 50 ml to 250 ml (with and without sidearms). Radleys has also introduced a new line of baffled and wide neck round-bottomed flasks that allows better mixing and easier removal of viscous samples and accommodates a variety of larger stirrer blades.

Time-saving and easy to use

The Tornado features an easy-to-use, tool-free “Pinch-Grip” mechanism for fast removal or exchange of stirrer shafts. This combined with a unique stirrer sealing system allows the Tornado to stir up to six flasks while under vacuum or an inert atmosphere.

Utilizes versatile Carousel 6 parallel synthesis technology

The Tornado IS6 connects directly on to the 6-place Carousel Reaction Station without the need for tools. This provides the chemist with a versatile, modular, parallel synthesis station at a fraction of the cost of any comparable reaction system. Tornado is available separately or as part of a complete system with a 6-place Carousel Reaction Station.

Product features

• Offers unrivalled stirring for both viscous samples as well as for the dispersion of delicate solids in solution
• Uses a single overhead stirrer to agitate up to six 250 ml flasks
• 2-speed drive (1:1 and 2:1) means lower-rated mechanical stirrers can be used for high-viscosity liquids; speeds of up to 1,000 rpm are achievable in low-viscosity solutions
• Fully integratable with existing 6-place Carousel Reaction Station, providing up to six heated (max. 180°C) and stirred reaction positions
• Integral polycarbonate safety guard
• Tool-free “Pinch-Grip” mechanism and sealed stirrer sealing system allow easy stirrer shaft insertion and operation under an inert atmosphere
• Accommodates 50 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml round-bottomed (with and without sidearms) and new baffled flasks
