This Radleys Discovery Technologies Tornado IS6 is a used laboratory parallel synthesis reactor system — sometimes referred to as a parallel reactor or multi-position reaction station — designed to carry out multiple chemical reactions simultaneously under controlled conditions. Radleys Discovery Technologies is a well-regarded British manufacturer of parallel chemistry and process chemistry equipment, supplying research and development laboratories in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and chemical industries with tools built for high-throughput synthesis and screening workflows.
The unit offers six independent reaction positions, allowing up to six parallel reactions to be run at the same time, each with individual access. This configuration makes it particularly suited to synthesis, compound screening, and process development tasks where time efficiency and reproducibility are priorities. The system is built around an IKA RCT Basic magnetic stirrer drive unit, which provides the integrated heating and stirring functions central to its operation. The gear ratio between the drive unit and the reaction block is 2:1, and the serial number 144178 is visible on the bracket.
The IKA RCT Basic drive unit delivers a temperature range of up to 310 °C and continuously variable speed control up to approximately 1,500 rpm, making it adaptable to a wide range of reaction protocols. Heating power is approximately 600 W depending on the model configuration, and the unit runs on a 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz power supply. The system is compatible with standard laboratory vessels and includes flexible mounts for accessories and sensors.
The seller describes the condition as used but optically very well preserved and fully functional. It is priced at $3,000 and is located in Germany. The system reflects dual origin — the Tornado reactor block manufactured in the UK by Radleys, and the IKA RCT Basic drive unit manufactured in Germany.
