The Reactor-Ready unit will remain hot or cold for some considerable time after the
heating/cooling source has been switched off. This means there is a risk to the user of burns from
hot or cold parts.
A temperature probe or temperature sensitive label can be used to indicate when components
are too hot or cold to touch. Always wear suitable protective equipment such as gloves, face
protection, and aprons to avoid injury.
6.4.3 Choosing a thermoregulator (circulator)
There are many thermoregulators available that are suitable for
use with Reactor-Ready. Choice is determined by factors such as
heating and cooling power over the required operating
temperature range, and the work space available. Careful
consideration needs to be given to the performance required – fast
heating and/or cooling or working at extreme temperatures will
not be possible with a low-powered thermoregulator.
As a result of in-house testing, Radleys recommends Huber
thermoregulators. However, other leading brands such as Lauda,
Julabo, Polyscience and Haake are also suitable.
6.4.4 Choosing a thermofluid
There is also a wide range of thermofluids available which are suitable for use with Reactor-Ready.
Again, choice is determined by the operating temperature that is required, and careful consideration
needs to be given to maximum and minimum temperatures in consultation with manufacturers’
specifications and safety data.
→ Always refer to the manufacturer’s specifications and operating instructions for your
thermoregulator and thermofluid before using them with Reactor-Ready to be sure of any
limitations or safety restrictions.
