The Tornado allows powerful, controlled mechanical stirring of up to six round bottom flasks when combined with the Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station; offering unrivalled stirring for both viscous samples and for the dispersion of delicate solids in solution.

• Integrates with Carousel 6 Plus to provide heated and stirred reactions
• Rapid heating to 180°C, with water-cooled reflux head
• Perform reactions under an inert atmosphere
• Accepts 50mL, 100mL and 250mL round bottom flasks (sidearms and baffled flasks available)
• Uses a single overhead stirrer – save space and money compared with multiple set-ups
• Compatible with all leading brands of overhead stirrer
• 2-speed drive allows overhead stirrers with less torque to be used for higher viscosities
• Stir to 1,000 rpm in low viscosity
• Max. viscosity 10,000 mPas at 500 rpm
• Integral polycarbonate safety guard prevents accidental contact with rotating parts
• Optional clamp and stand provides added stability during operation
• Uses a single overhead stirrer to agitate up to six 250mL flasks
• Choice of centrifugal, anchor and propeller PTFE stirrers, specifically sized for each vessel
• Choice of flask sizes and styles with wide neck option
• Wide neck flasks allow easier removal of viscous and solid samples and the use of larger stirrer blades.
• Baffles improve stirring by disrupting the creation of a vortex
• Tool-free 'Pinch-Grip' mechanism and sealed stirrer system allows easy stirrer shaft insertion and operation under an inert atmosphere
• Heated directly by the stirring hotplate with optional digital control and Pt1000 temperature sensor
• Integral polycarbonate safety guard
• Universal support stand gives added stability
• Integrates with existing Carousel 6 Plus without increasing footprint
• Fits on all Carousel Stirring Hotplates
• Individual vessels can be removed easily
• Easy to operate and set-up with minimal training time
• 2-speed drive (1:1 and 2:1) allows lower rated stirrers to be used for higher viscosity liquids
• Package includes: drive unit, 6 x stirrer guide mechanisms, stirring motor coupling, stirring motor clamp and polycarbonate safety shield (stirrers and Carousel 6 reaction station not included)
