These instructions should also be read in conjunction with the Carousel 12 Plus Instructions. 1. Introduction The Carousel 12 Plus is a modular system that provides the capability to perform parallel synthesis for reactions that require heating and/or cooling, in a fully inert atmosphere, and provides a streamlined interface to post synthesis processing.
4. Important WARNINGS Please read these instructions completely before using your Cooling Reservoir. These instructions should also be read in conjunction with the Carousel 12 Plus Instructions. • Operate only in a fume cupboard with protective safety sash. • The Cooled Carousel Reaction Station is NOT suitable for heated reactions •...

Cooled Carousel 12 Plus Reaction Station 7. Quick Start Guide 7.1. Assemble reflux head and cooling reservoir, so that they fit securely together. Make sure that the reflux head is properly seated on the central pillar of the reservoir. 7.2. Position cooled reservoir onto the stirring hotplate.
Cooled Carousel 12 Plus Reaction Station 8. Set-Up & Operation For reactions using the cooling reservoir 8.1. Assemble reflux head and cooling reservoir Place the reflux head on top of the central pillar of the cooling reservoir. The circular recess in the reflux head accepts the circular protrusion on the central pillar.

Cooled Carousel 12 Plus Reaction Station 8. Set-Up & Operation - Continued 8.10. Monitoring the coolant temperature For low temperature measurement we recommend use of the RR99905 Digital Thermometer (-250°C to +400°C) and 200mm Probe. The probe may be placed directly into the reservoir bowl to monitor the cooling mixture - by sliding the probe through the hole in the reflux head.

8. Set-Up & Operation - Continued 8.13. Using the Cooled Carousel 12 Plus Lid The HDPE lid is included with your cooling reservoir. The lid is designed to keep your reaction cooler for longer, minimises condensation and ice formation on your tubes (maintaining vis- ibility of the contents) and prevents spitting from the cooling mixture.
