- Page 12 Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station 8. Quick Start Guide 8.1 Locate the Carousel on top of the stirring hotplate. 8.2 Place a magnetic stirring bar into your chosen reaction flask. 8.3 If you are using a flask that does not have an integrated reflux neck, attach an appropriate reflux tube.
- Page 13 Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station 9. Set-Up and Operation 9.1 Locating the Carousel 6 Plus on Stirring Hotplate The top surface of your stirring hotplate should be cleaned prior to use. Any small particles on the surface may affect the fit of the Carousel unit, and have an adverse affect on the performance.
- Page 14 Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station 9. Set-Up and Operation - Continued Selection of Glassware The Carousel is available with a range of unique glassware tailored for the specific requirements of parallel synthesis. You should select the glassware for your application based on volume, sidearm configuration, neck size and whether you need baffles or an azeotropic set-up.

- Page 16 Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station 9. Set-Up and Operation - Continued Using Easy-On Caps 9.7B 9.7A When using the Easy-On caps, to ensure the flow of inert gas, the valve must be in the ‘open’ position (see 9.7A). A quarter turn (anti-clockwise or clockwise) will ‘close’ the valve, isolating the reaction flask (see 9.7B).
- Page 17 Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station 9. Set-Up and Operation - Continued 9.10 Connect Gas/Vacuum Supply The central gas inlet/outlet and radial distribution system combined with Easy-On PTFE caps allow reactions to be performed under an inert (nitrogen/argon) atmosphere. For use under an inert atmosphere attach tubing to the central quick-release coupling and connect via a 3-way tap or stopcock to a vacuum source and inert gas supply (recommended maximum pressure 1psi).

Set-Up and Operation - Continued 9.13 Temperature Control 9.13.1 9.13.1 Set the stirring speed and temperature of the stirring hotplate to the desired level. 9.13.2 The stainless steel temperature sensor is positioned either in one of the reaction flasks (through the silicone septa) to monitor and control the solution temperature (9.13.2A) or into the reaction block via the hole between the reflux inlets (9.13.2B).
- Page 19 Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station 9. Set-Up and Operation - Continued 9.15 Important Tips for Optimum Refluxing 9.15.1 For most solvents a water supply of 5˚C to 18˚C will be sufficient for effective reflux- ing. However with cooling water above 12˚C, care should be taken to carefully control refluxing.

Performance Data - Insulating Plate 10.1 Use of the PTFE Insulating Plate as a Safety Barrier The insulating properties of the PTFE material provide a significant safety barrier, protecting the user from high temperatures and reducing the risk of serious burn, in case of accidental contact when the reactor is being used at elevated temperatures.
