Batch, filter and spherical configurations are available across laboratory and pilot scales.
Glass Reactors
Borosilicate glass reactors for batch reaction, filtration, cryogenic processing and reaction-distillation duties, configured from laboratory to pilot scale.

Reactor engineering
Make the reaction visible, controllable and easier to scale.
Borosilicate glass combines broad corrosion resistance with direct visibility of mixing, phase behaviour and reaction progress. This makes it especially useful for kilo laboratories, pilot plants and smaller production batches where process understanding is as important as containment.
UD Technologies configures each reactor around the chemistry, operating temperature, heat-transfer duty, agitation requirement and downstream operation. Cylindrical reactors support geometric similarity during scale-up, while spherical and specialised vessel forms suit particular batch, filtration and distillation duties.
Borosilicate glass
Transparent, corrosion-resistant product-contact construction for demanding chemistry.
Batch or continuous
Select the reactor arrangement around residence time, mixing and process sequence.
Custom engineered
Jackets, agitation, controls and supporting systems are matched to the user requirement.
Configuration options
A reactor platform built around the process.
The vessel, heat-transfer arrangement and handling system can be selected independently to suit the chemistry and operating procedure.
Transparent process observation
Operators can observe mixing, phase changes, crystallisation and filtration directly through the glass vessel.
Jacket and thermal options
Choose glass, stainless-steel or mild-steel jackets together with heating or cooling baths and mantles.
Process-specific agitation
Glass or PTFE agitation systems, baffles and single- or multi-stage arrangements can be configured for the duty.
Reaction and filtration
Filter-reactor configurations combine synthesis, washing, filtration and drying in one vessel.
Cryogenic capability
Triple-walled vessels use an evacuated outer jacket to insulate very low-temperature reactions and preserve visibility.
Instrumentation and automation
Manual, motorised and automated arrangements can be supplied to match operating and validation requirements.
Reactor configurations
Compare the principal glass reactor arrangements.
Final capacities, connections, materials and controls are confirmed against the process and user requirement specification.
