Vessels & adapters for synthesis & screening

For the xelsius Reactor Workstation a wide range of vessels and adapters is available, allowing flexible experimental setups for varying reaction conditions and multipurpose use:

For small-scaled batches (0.3 – 20 mL) there are glass or PTFE reaction vessels.

Specified glassware (e.g. water separator) extends applicability.

The 5-port cap facilitates gas-tight integration of tubes (gassing, inerting and dosing), septa (sampling) and sensors (probing).

Multiblock adapters, holding multiple vials or tubes, increase capacity for parallel synthesis, screening and sample preparation.

Specific adapters ensure compatibility for vessels commonly used in laboratories.

Multi-functional 5-Port Cap


For multi-functional experimental setups the 5-Port Cap offers the gas-tight integration of tubes for gassing, inerting and dosing, septa for sampling as well sensors for probing, monitoring and temperature control.

Four side ports provide 1/16” (Ø = 1.6 mm) or 1/8” (Ø = 3.2 mm) feedthroughs.

A center port is equipped with a septum and needle guide plug,
alternatively this position can be used for the intergration of probes.

The 5-Port Cap is compatible to HV Vial & LV Vial
