Light-Sensitive Reaction Equipment

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. What Is a 20L Brown Glass Reactor? 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. Why Brown Glass? 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. Key Advantages 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. Applications The 20L Brown Glass Reactor is ideal for: Photolabile compound synthesis Botanical extraction Pharmaceutical intermediate production Material development under light-restricted conditions Final Thoughts   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.
