Cooled Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your Cooled Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station.
Please read this Instruction Manual thoroughly before operating your unit.
The Cooled Carousel 6 allows chemists to perform stirred, sub-ambient reactions in a range of
round bottom flasks from 5ml to 250ml with the option of an inert, moisture free atmosphere.
Features...
• Simultaneously performs up to six cooled and stirred reactions to -78˚C.
• Powerful, even stirring - reservoir fits on to a Carousel stirring hotplate.
• Robust HDPE cooling reservoir is compatible with a wide range of cooling mixtures, including
dry-ice/acetone for manually controlled cooling from ambient down to -78˚C.
• Insulated foam core maintains low temperatures for long periods, whilst protecting the stirrer
from freezing.
• Insulation also reduces condensation and ice formation on outer surfaces of reservoir.
• HDPE lid keeps your reaction cooler for longer, minimises ice formation on your flasks (maintaining visibility of the contents) and prevents
spitting from the cooling mixture.
• Round design makes all reaction flasks visible and allows easy addition of reagents and solvents, with no need to lean into the fumehood.
Whats NEW...
• Easy-on PTFE caps feature a ‘quick-thread’ for a gas tight seal to flasks.
• Easy to clean contoured surface.
• Exclusive wide neck flasks with quick coupling for improved sealing and ease of use.

• Please read these instructions completely before using your Cooled Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station.
• The Cooled Carousel is NOT suitable for heated reactions.
• Operate only in a fumehood with protective safety sash.
• The Carousel Reaction Flasks are not designed for pressurised reactions. DO NOT PRESSURISE ABOVE 1psi.
• Reactor Head - Chemical Resistance - the aluminium Carousel reactor head is resistant to the majority of solvents and splash resistant
to dilute acids and alkalis at room temperature. Extended exposure to acids or alkalis will attack the surface of the Carousel. The stronger
the concentration and the longer the exposure time the more chance and intensity of any attack. It is important to clean off any residual
chemical spills immediately after they occur.
• Cooling Reservoir - Chemical Resistance - The cooling reservoir is manufactured from a HDPE polymer which is compatible with the
freezing mixtures listed in Section 11. Cooling Mixture Appendix on page 18 of this manual.
• Ensure that the heating control on the stirring hotplate is switched off and that the hotplate is cool before using the Cooled Carousel.
• Cooling solvents such as acetone are extremely flammable. Always follow appropriate safety instructions and chemical handling
procedures.

8.1 Assemble the reactor head and cooling reservoir, so that they fit securely
together. Make sure that the reactor head is properly seated on the central
pillar of the reservoir.
8.2 Locate the Cooled Carousel assembly on top of the stirring hotplate.
8.3 Place a magnetic stirring bar into your chosen reaction flask.
8.4 If you are using a flask which does not have an integrated reflux
neck you will need to attach an appropriate reflux tube at this time
or skip to step 8.5.
See 9.5. Assemble the Reaction Flask and Reflux Tube.
8.5 Assemble the glassware and Easy-On PTFE Cap by screwing together.
This process requires a 1/4 turn of the cap, hand tighten until the cap feels
secure. Ensure the tube is properly located with the O-Ring seal in the cap.
8.6 If required fit a new Silicone Septa to the central hole in the cap, and ensure
that the cap valve is in the “open” position.
8.7 Place the flask into the Cooled Carousel at the required location, push the
cap down onto the connector pin until the flask is fully located in the base.
8.8 Select a suitable cooling mixture depending on the minimum temperature
desired. We recommend using a dry ice/acetone cooling mixture for best
cooling results.
8.9 Using a suitable wash bottle or similar, fill the reservoir with solvent to a
depth of approximately 2cm.
8.10 Using the RR99908 scoop, carefully add dry ice in small portions until the
desired temperature is reached.
8.11 Once the desired temperature is reached air sensitive liquid reagents may
be carefully added via the Silicone Septa under an inert atmosphere.
8.12 Locate the optional lid onto the cooling reservoir.
8.13 Connect the central quick fit gas connector to a regulated inert gas supply
and switch the gas supply on.
8.14 If a gas connector position is not in use it can be blocked off with an inverted
Silicone Septa.
8.15 Set the stirring hotplate to the required stirring speed.

9.1
9.2
For reactions using the cooling reservoir
9.1 Assemble reactor head and cooling reservoir
Place the reactor head on top of the central pillar of the cooling reservoir. The circular recess
in the reactor head accepts the circular protrusion on the central pilar. The Cooled Carousel’s
modular design allows the head to be easily lifted on and off the reservoir as required.
9.2 Locating the cooling reservoir onto the hotplate stirrer
The top surface of your stirring hotplate should be cleaned prior to use. Any small particles
on the surface may affect the fit of the Cooled Carousel reservoir and have an adverse affect
on the performance. Wipe the surface with a cloth or tissue, dampened with an appropriate
solvent (e.g. acetone) and check for any signs of contamination or obstruction.
The undersurface of the Cooled Carousel should also be cleaned prior to use. Wipe the
surface with a cloth or tissue, dampened with an appropriate solvent (e.g. acetone) and
check for any signs of contamination or obstruction.
Position the Cooled Carousel onto the stirring hotplate, making sure that it is secure and
properly seated. The circular recess in the base of the unit is designed to fit snugly around
the top plate of the stirring hotplate (maximum diameter 135mm).
The Cooled Carousels modular design allows it to be easily lifted on and off the hotplate
stirrer as required. Being circular, it can be rotated when in place to facilitate access to all
reaction positions. This removes the need to lean into the fumehood during operation.

9.3 Selection of Glassware
The Cooled Carousel is available with a range of unique glassware tailored for the specfic
requirements of parallel synthesis.
You should select the glassware for your application based on volume, side arm configuration,
neck size and if you need baffles or an azeotropic set-up.
For details of the full range see section 7.
9.4 Select an appropriate stirring bar
Select a suitable magnetic stirrer bar and place in the reaction flask.
We recommend the RR99064 Rare Earth - 25mm eliptical PTFE
Magnetic Stirring Bars.

Warning
Always take care when loading stirring bars not to drop them, as this may frac-
ture the glass flask. Use RR98094 Stirring Bar Retriever where appropriate.
!
Important Note
All PTFE magnetic stirring bars with time and use, lose their magnetism.
Therefore to optimise stirring performance always replace bars regularly.

9.5 Assemble the Reaction Flask and Reflux Tube
All glassware to be used in the Carousel requires a reflux neck. The next step will depend
on the glassware you have selected. If you have chosen...
a. ...a round bottom flask with an integrated reflux neck - see 9.5.1
b. ...a round bottom flask which requires a reflux tube be attached to it - see 9.5.2
c. ...a wide neck round bottom flask - see 9.5.3
9.5.1 Glassware with integrated reflux neck
As you have selected glassware with an integral reflux neck you will not need to add a
separate reflux tube and can skip directly to step 9.6.
9.5.2 Assembling a round bottom flask requiring a reflux neck
You will need to add a reflux tube to your round bottom flask using a Rodaviss®Ground Glass
Joint. Rodaviss is an extra-safe borosilicate glass joint for connecting laboratory glassware.
Rodaviss is safe under vacuum or pressure, grease free, interchangeable with standard 1:10
tapered ground joints (including A, B and C lengths), will not stick or jam, is extremely strong
and can be used up to 200˚C.
Place the cone of the reflux tube through the red connecting cap and then roll the O-Ring up
over the cone until it drops past the shoulder of the cone. Clip the black loosening ring
between the top of the connecting cap and glass rim on the cone. Insert the cone into the
socket on the flask. Screw down the connecting cap onto the thread on the socket to com-
press the O-Ring, thus ensuring a perfect seal and a rigid assembly.
In the event of any difficulty in undoing the joint because the surfaces are jammed, simply
unscrew the connecting cap back onto the loosening ring, which will push the joints easily
apart. This system will release even the most 'frozen' joints.

9.6 Fitting the Easy-On Caps to the Reflux Neck
Assemble the flask and Easy-On Cap by screwing together. This process requires a ¼ turn
of the cap, hand tighten until the cap feels secure. Ensure that the reflux tube is properly
located within the O-Ring seal in the cap. The Nitrile O-Ring forms a gas tight seal with the
outside of the reflux tube.
Caps feature a replaceable Nitrile O-Ring as standard with an optional Viton replacement.
These O-Rings will be subject to chemical attack and will require periodic replacement.
• RR98060 O-Rings for Caps - Nitrile 24mm (standard), pk 100
• RR98160 O-Rings for Caps - Viton 24mm, pk 100
A Septa is located in the top of each Easy-On Cap, which permits either reaction monitoring
through the withdrawal of aliquots or the addition of reagents during synthesis. Septa require
periodic replacement.
• RR98076 Silicone Septa for PTFE caps, pk 100
Warning
Do not over tighten the Easy-On Caps, as this may damage the cap and
fracture the reflux tube.

9.10 Adding dry ice to the reservoir
Using the RR99908 scoop, carefully add dry ice in small portions until the desired tempera-
ture is reached.
See 9.16 Monitoring the coolant temperature.
Once the desired temperature is reached air sensitive liquid reagents may be carefully added
under an inert atmosphere via the Suba-Seals using a syringe.

9.7 Using Easy-On Caps with Valve & Septum for Inerting & Additions
When using the Easy-On Caps, to ensure the flow of inert gas, the valve must be in the
‘OPEN’ position (see 9.7A). A quarter turn (anti-clockwise or clockwise) will ‘CLOSE’ the
valve, isolating the Reaction Flask (see 9.7B)
The Flasks can be isolated or removed during synthesis by simply closing the valve on the
Easy-On PTFE Cap ensuring the other reactions remain under controlled inert conditions.
9.8 Inserting Flasks
9.8.1 Insert the flask into the required location.
9.8.2 Push the Easy-On Cap onto the connector pin, until the cap is fully seated on the
connector. Repeat for each flask.
9.9 Adding cooling fluid to the reservoir
Select a suitable cooling mixture depending on the minimum temperature desired.
(Examples are given in Appendix see page 18). We recommend using a dry ice and acetone
cooling mixture for best cooling results.
Open Closed
9.7A 9.7B
Warning
Do not over tighten the Easy-On Caps, as this may damage the cap and
fracture the reflux tube.

9.11 Using the Cooled Carousel 6 Plus Lid
The HDPE lid is included with your cooling reservoir. The lid is designed to keep your reaction
cooler for longer, minimises condensation and ice formation on your flasks (maintaining
visibility of the contents) and prevents spitting from the cooling mixture.
The lid locates onto the cooling reservoir, resting on the edge of the reservoir and the
reactor head.
9.12 Connect Gas/Vacuum supply
The central gas inlet and radial distribution system combined with gas tight Easy-On PTFE
Caps allows reactions to be performed under an inert (nitrogen/argon) atmosphere.
For use under an inert atmosphere attach tubing to the central quick-release coupling and
connect via a 3-way tap or stopcock to a vacuum source and inert gas supply (recommended
maximum pressure 1psi).
Then, by alternately evacuating the system and filling it with a suitable inert gas (repeating
2 to 3 times) will achieve an inert atmosphere within the flasks.
The Reaction Flasks can be isolated or removed during synthesis by simply closing the valve
on the Easy-On PTFE Cap and removing the flask.
9.13 Stainless Steel Gas Outlets
The stainless steel Gas Outlets on top of the reactor head feature an upper and lower Nitrile
O-Ring as standard, an optional Viton replacements.
These O-Rings may be subject to chemical attack and will require periodic replacement.
RR91060 Nitrile O-Rings 4mm Gas Outlet - Bottom, pk 50
RR91061 Nitrile O-Rings 3mm Gas Outlet - Top, pk 50

9.15 Temperature control
9.15.1 Set the stirring speed of the stirring hotplate to the desired level.
9.16 Monitoring the coolant temperature
For low temperature measurement we recommend use of the RR99905 Digital Thermometer
(-250°C to +400°C) and 200mm Probe.
The probe may be placed directly into the reservoir bowl to monitor the cooling mixture - by
sliding the probe through the hole in the reactor head. Alternatively insert the probe in to one
of the reaction tubes (through the Silicone Septa) to directly monitor the sample temperature.
9.17 Using the Carousel 6 Plus Stand
The Carousel 6 Plus stand is designed to support the reactor head either with or without
reaction flasks. The HDPE stand and integral drip tray catches any dripping condensation
from flasks and gives excellent stability.
• Use between reactions.
• Use when loading flasks.
• Use for reactions that require rapid air warming.
9.18 Once your synthesis is complete
• Turn off stirring.
• Turn off gas supply and disconnect gas inlet.
• Remove the lid.
• Remove the Carousel reactor head from reservoir and place on the Carousel Stand.
• The Reaction Flasks can now be removed.

9.1 Use protective equipment and follow the instructions
The use of manual cooling mixtures offers considerable savings in time, convenience and
cost when compared with automatic chillers or cryostats. However, extreme care should be
taken when using cooling mixtures.
• Cooling mixtures can unexpectedly spit and splash. Therefore it is important to cover all
exposed skin by wearing suitable protective gloves, aprons and face shield.
• Do not initially fill the reservoir with solvent beyond the recommended depth as vigorous
bumping (splashing) can occur and solvent may be ejected from the reservoir. In particu-
lar, as the cooling mixture contacts the warmer surface of the flasks rapid evaporation of
CO2can occur, causing bubbling and spitting.
• Take care when disposing of dry ice/acetone or other solvent mixtures! Do not attempt to
pour cold mixtures into containers that can be sealed. There is a danger of splashing and
pressure build up. Preferably allow the cooling mixture to warm to room temperature
before disposing of it according to appropriate local regulations
