Andorra / Apart

The Premex Andorra and Apart series are compact, small-volume high-pressure reactors designed for laboratory batch applications where reliable stirring, safe pressure handling and flexible temperature control are required. The Andorra is based on a space-saving autoclave design with an integrated magnetic stirrer drive, gas connections, pressure monitoring and safety features built into the reactor head. The Apart extends the Andorra platform into a more complete benchtop batch reactor system, available with either electric heating or fluid/oil heating for controlled laboratory operation.
