- Efficient Agitation: Explore the IKA Propeller Stirrer R 4013 SY, designed for high-performance mixing within modular reactor systems.
- Precision Fittings: Our range includes IKA Swivelling Screw Fittings (SY NS.6 and SY NS.8) to ensure secure, adjustable connections for various probe and tubing diameters.
LabFriend supplies laboratory reactor components from the manufacturer at the forefront of process technology:
- IKA: A global leader in laboratory technology, providing a comprehensive modular ecosystem including stands, multi-port lids, stirring tools, and draining sets for advanced synthesis.
A high-quality reactor setup is the core of any pilot-scale laboratory; to further enhance your synthesis and distillation workflow, we recommend exploring these related categories:
- Flat Ground Flange Reaction Vessels: Pair your IKA lids with DWK Duran vessels or Lenz-Laborglas jacketed reactors for precise temperature control.
- Reaction & Distillation Components: Use ISOLAB adapters and Lenz-Laborglas delivery tubes to build out the vapor paths from your reactor ports.
- Dropping Funnels: Integrate Lenz-Laborglas pressure-equalizing funnels into your IKA reactor lid for controlled reagent addition.
- Distillation Accessories: Ensure stable internal environments using J.P. Pöllath boiling stones or Lenz gas inlet tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the advantage of using an IKA multi-port reactor lid?
IKA reactor lids, such as the SY 150.1, feature several standardized ground glass ports. This allows you to simultaneously connect an overhead stirrer, a thermometer, a condenser, and a dropping funnel without needing custom glasswork.
2. Why is a specialized stand system necessary for reactors?
The IKA Stand System SY is built to handle the significant weight and torque of overhead stirrers and large-volume glass vessels, ensuring the entire assembly remains stable and aligned during operation.
3. What are swivelling screw fittings used for?
Fittings like the SY NS.6 allow you to pass probes or tubes through the reactor lid while maintaining a secure, adjustable seal, which is critical for monitoring reaction parameters.
4. Can I use these components for vacuum reactions?
Yes, IKA reactor components are designed to work with standardized ground glass joints and specialized seals, making them suitable for reactions conducted under reduced pressure.
