Reaction Block Synthesis System
An inexpensive method to heat, cool, reflux parallel reactions in disposable vials

 


Reaction Block System. Including a heated reaction block, bench top shaker, thermocouple and digital temperature controller
  

See Examples of 
Custom Reaction Blocks in the
Custom Reaction Block Hall of Fame 

Heat - Cool - Reflux
& Stir 96 reactions simultaneously!

  • Temperature homogeneity of +/- 1 degree C
  • Change from one size reaction block to another in 30 seconds
  • Available in three styles
  • Temperature range of -120 to 130 C
  • Custom layouts, sizes, and configurations available, to see some examples look at our Custom Reaction Block Hall of Fame
Designed to meet the demanding needs of high-throughput research from parallel synthesis to materials science. J-KEM's Reaction Blocks provide accurate heating and cooling plus the convenience of being able to use any size or style reaction block with the same shaker and digital temperature controller.  Can be used without a shaker as a dry bath.
Four Styles of Blocks Reaction Block Accessories
A complete Reaction Block System consists of:
  1. Any number or style of reaction blocks
  2. J-KEM's Rotary Shaker
  3. Digital Temperature Controller
  4. Reaction Block Thermocouple

Heated Reaction Blocks
  Reaction blocks have internal electric heaters for homogeneous, fast and efficient heating. All blocks are permanently attached to quick mount shaker mounting plates.
 
Catalog # Vial Size (diameter) Vial Positions
RB-2 2 ml (12mm) 96 (8 x 12 array)
RB-4 4 ml (15mm) 96 (8 x 12 array)
RB-8 8 ml (17mm) 96 (8 x 12 array)
RB-20 20 ml (28mm) 63 (7 x 9 array)
$845.00
Temperature Range: Room Temperature to 130 C
Heated & Cooled Reaction Blocks
  Heated and Cooled Reaction blocks have the same internal electric heater as heated reaction blocks, plus the addition of an internal milled liquid flow path that surrounds every vial position. Cooling is provided by circulating chilled liquids through the block by means of a re-circulating chiller or using liquid nitrogen. All blocks are permanently attached to quick mount shaker mounting plates.
 
Catalog # Vial Size (diameter) Vial Positions
RBC-2 2 ml (12mm) 70 (7 x 10 array)
RBC-4 4 ml (15mm) 70 (7 x 10 array)
RBC-8 8 ml (17mm) 70 (7 x 10 array)
RBC-20 20 ml (28mm) 63 (7 X 9 array)
$1194.00
Temperature Range: -100 to 130 C
Reflux Reaction Blocks
  Reflux Reaction blocks consist of a heated bottom layer, a cooled top layer and an insulated middle layer. This configuration allows refluxing in capped vials without pressure build up. Heating is provided by an internal electric heater and cooling by internally milled coolant channels. Cooling channels (optional) can be added to the bottom heated layer to allow heating, cooling and refluxing in the same block.

-BCP Optional cooling ports in the bottom layer.  Add $475.00 
$1960.00
Temperature Range: -100 to 130 C
Reflux blocks take larger vials to leave head space for solvent condensation
Multi-Temperature Zone Reaction Blocks
  Build your own system with 2, 4, or 6 independently thermostated reaction blocks mounted to a single shaker mounting plate. Choose vial size and reaction block style (Heated, Cooled, or Reflux) for each reaction block position.
Two Position from $1725.00
Four Position from $2225.00
Six Position from $2635.00
Temperature Range: -100 to 130 C

Multi-Temperature Zone Reaction Blocks
Evaporate the solvent from all reaction vials at one time.

Reaction block evaporators fit on top of a reaction block and direct a jet of nitrogen gas into each individual vial. By gently heating and stirring the reaction block (using its built-in heater and bench top shaker), reaction solvent can be evaporated in a fraction of the time required by other methods. Reaction block evaporators are not backward compatible with older reaction blocks. To modify existing reaction blocks, contact J-KEM for assistance.

A single evaporator fits multiple reaction block sizes.
