When working in chemical, pharmaceutical, or biological research, light-sensitive reactions require specialized equipment to maintain sample integrity. One such solution is the 20L Brown Glass Reactor, designed specifically to protect light-sensitive compounds from degradation.
A 20L Brown Glass Reactor is a type of single or double-layer reaction vessel made from high borosilicate glass, featuring a brown inner layer. This brown (amber) coating effectively blocks UV and visible light, helping to prevent photochemical reactions that could compromise your experiment's outcome.
The Brown Glass Vessel acts as a natural shield against harmful rays. Similar to amber medicine bottles, it ensures maximum light protection, especially during long-duration or temperature-sensitive reactions.
Light Protection: The brown inner layer blocks UV/blue light that may alter chemical compositions.
High Chemical Resistance: Made from durable borosilicate glass, suitable for acids, bases, and solvents.
Thermal Stability: Withstands rapid temperature changes, ideal for heating/cooling cycles.
Easy Observation: Despite the tint, the reactor remains semi-transparent for visual monitoring.
The 20L Brown Glass Reactor is ideal for:
Photolabile compound synthesis
Botanical extraction
Pharmaceutical intermediate production
Material development under light-restricted conditions
If your lab deals with light-sensitive materials, upgrading to a Brown Glass Reactor can significantly improve reproducibility and safety. Our 20L model balances capacity, light shielding, and chemical compatibility—making it a smart investment for any serious lab.
