General description

Kit Contents:
  • One cap/PTFE sleeve set, 35 mL
  • One Q-Tube adapter-3510 (pressure will be safely released at or under 120 psi and the tube will be resealed)
  • One catch bottle (20 mL)
  • One needle adapter
  • One 1 inch needle
  • One 35 mL reusable glass pressure tube
  • One PP trap with FEP tubing
  • One retaining screw
  • Ten rubber septa, 35 mL
  • One stir bar
Q-Tube pressure reactors are affordable alternatives to a microwave synthesizer and feature a safe pressure-release system that prevents accidental explosions due to over -pressurization. The starter kits contain all items needed for immediate use.

Optional higher pressure-release threshold adapters are available separately for 12 mL and 35 mL Q-Tubes.

Benefits:
  • Better yield than microwave and conventional open flask
  • Cleaner product than microwave and conventional open flask (higher yield and lighter color)
  • Reduced reaction time (from hours to minutes)
  • Higher reproducibility than microwave
  • Scalable (up to 20 grams)
  • Safer (automatic pressure release and reseal) than conventional pressure (sealed) tube
  • Affordable
  • Maintenance-free

Caution

12 mL pressure tubes and septa are disposable and should not be reused! Hand wash 35 mL pressure tube only! Clean and inspect the one inch pressure-release needle after each use to ensure that it is not plugged.

Note: Use only genuine Q-Tube replacement tubes, septa, and components.

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  
  1. We are designing a screening photo-reaction under high pressure, using both gas and liquid as starting materials under LED light. Is this system suitable to our parallel photo reactions? Are there reusable 12 ml tubes? Or withdraw higher pressure?

    1 answer
    1. This item is not tested for use in any specific application, but is pressure rated at 500 psi. This tube will safely release pressure at or below 120 psi. A high pressure adapter is available for this kit (sold separately) that will release pressure at or below 180 psi. See product Z742415 for further details. A brief review of the literature did not offer any additional information regarding usage of this product in gas/liquid photo reactions. A link is provided below to article involving the use of the Q-Tube starter kit in Palladium-catalyzed synthesis which may be of interest:

  2. What are the benefits of High pressure adapters for Q-Tube™?

    1 answer
    1. The Q-TubeTM reactors are affordable alternatives to a microwave synthesizer. Unlike the microwave system, which can experience hot-spots that can lead to charring of product, the Q-TubeTM system provides more uniform heat distribution.

  3. Can High pressure adapters for Q-Tube™ be heated with an oil bath?

    1 answer
    1. Yes. However, the Q-BlockTM heating block offers the advantage of being equipped with a safety shield, lattice clamps and hose barb for nitrogen stream to cool down the block.

      Helpful?

  4. What is the maximum liquid fill level for the High pressure adapter for Q-Tube™ glass tube?

    1 answer
    1. We would recommend keeping the level of the liquid just below half full. The 35mL system has a maximum fill line printed on the tube.
