• Rapid heating to 180 ˚C, with water-cooled reflux head
• Perform reactions under an inert atmosphere
• Accepts 50 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml round bottom flasks

• Uses a single overhead stirrer – save space and money compared with multiple set-ups
• Compatible with all leading brands of overhead stirrer
• 2-speed drive allows overhead stirrers with less torque to be used for higher viscosities

• Stir to 1,000 rpm in low viscosity
• Max. viscosity 10,000 mPas at 500 rpm
• Integral polycarbonate safety guard prevents accidental contact with rotating parts
• Optional clamp and stand provides added stability during operation

Choice of flask sizes and styles, including wide neck option

Wide neck flasks allow easier removal of viscous and solid samples and the use of larger stirrer blades. Baffles also improve stirring by disrupting the creation of a vortex.

Universal Support Stand aids stability

This heavy duty, stainless steel and aluminium stand provides the added support needed for stable operation of the Tornado. Tool-free design is easy to assemble.

Choice of PTFE Stirring Paddles

Choose from centrifugal, anchor and propeller PTFE stirrers, specifically sized for each vessel. Custom formats available on request.
