1. Chemistry field
Glass reactors are widely used in various chemical synthesis reactions, crystallization processes and separation and purification in the chemical field. For example, it can be used to prepare various organic compounds, inorganic salts or pharmaceutical raw materials, and adjust the reaction conditions by controlling the reaction temperature, pressure and other parameters, so as to precisely control and optimize the reaction. At the same time, due to the high transparency of the glass reactor, the reaction process can be observed intuitively, so as to better understand the reaction mechanism and properties.
2. Biosciences
In the field of biological sciences, glass reactors are mainly used for cell culture, fermentation, and the preparation and purification of biological macromolecules such as proteins. For example, in the field of cell culture, glass reactors can be used to construct bioreactors, so as to achieve large-scale cultivation and production of cells. In terms of protein preparation, glass reactors are also widely used in the process of protein expression, purification and crystallization.
3. Field of Materials Science
The application of glass reactors in the field of materials science and engineering mainly focuses on the synthesis, modification and functionalization of materials. For example, in the development of new optoelectronic materials, glass reactors can be used for material synthesis and characterization by various methods such as chemical vapor deposition, solvothermal method, and hydrothermal method. At the same time, in the synthesis and preparation of nanomaterials, glass reactors are also one of the indispensable equipment.
4. Medicinal chemistry
In the field of medicinal chemistry, glass reactors are mainly used in the synthesis, purification and separation of drugs. By controlling the reaction conditions, the control and optimization of the drug synthesis process can be achieved. At the same time, due to the better uniformity of temperature and pressure in the kettle, the selectivity and yield of the drug reaction are higher, thereby improving the quality and effect of the drug.
5. Food, cosmetics and other fields
In the fields of food and cosmetics, glass reactors are also widely used in the development and production of new products. For example, in the food industry, it can be used in the preparation of chocolate, dairy products and other foods; in the cosmetics industry, glass reactors can be used to prepare and improve various cosmetic raw materials.
To sum up, the glass reactor is an important experimental equipment widely used in chemistry, biology, material science and other fields. It has many advantages, such as corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, easy cleaning, etc.
