Stirred glass reactors from PDC are ideal for visual observation of chemical reactions under pressure. Each glass reactor is a complete system including the glass vessel, supporting stand, agitation assembly (magnetic stirrer, drive motor, belt, belt guard and impeller), multiple process connection ports, drain port, sample tube, temperature sensor and a rupture disc assembly along with an agitation control panel to adjust and monitor the speed of the stirrer.
