Abstract
The invention provides an apparatus including a reactionware and an analytical device for analysing a reaction, the analytical device including at least a plurality of reaction sensors and the analytical device is configured for placement of a plurality of sensors in the reaction space of the reactionware, and optionally the reaction headspace of the reactionware, and the reactionware is a reaction flask having one or more necks, and the analytical device is held in a neck of the reaction flask.
Claims19
A reaction apparatus comprising a reactionware and an analytical device, wherein the analytical device comprises a housing and a plurality of reaction sensors disposed within the housing,
- wherein the housing of the analytical device is configured for placement of the plurality of sensors in a reaction space of the reactionware,
- wherein the housing of the analytical device comprises an upper housing and a lower housing, the plurality of reaction sensors being disposed at least within the lower housing,
- wherein the reactionware is a reaction flask having one or more necks, and the lower housing of the analytical device is held in a neck of the reaction flask, and
- wherein the lower housing of the analytical device is proportioned to allow for insertion through said neck of the reaction flask, and is suitably elongate to extend into the reaction space of the reaction flask such that the reaction sensors are placed in the reaction space of the reaction flask.
An analytical device for a reactionware, the analytical device comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a plurality of reaction sensors disposed within the housing,
- wherein the housing of the analytical device is configured for placement of the plurality of sensors in a reaction space of the reactionware,
- wherein the housing of the analytical device comprises an upper housing and a lower housing, the plurality of reaction sensors being disposed at least within the lower housing,
- wherein the reactionware is a reaction flask having one or more necks, and the lower housing of the analytical device is for holding in a neck of the reaction flask, and
- wherein the lower housing is proportioned to allow for insertion through said neck of the reaction flask, and is suitably elongate to extend into the reaction space of the reaction flask when the lower housing is held in the neck of the reaction flask such that the reaction sensors are placed in the reaction space of the reaction flask.
An analytical device for a reactionware, the analytical device comprising:
- a housing comprising an upper housing and a lower housing;
- and
- a plurality of sensors disposed at least within the lower housing, wherein at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors has a sensor element part and a further part, which further part is electronic circuitry for the at least one sensor and is in communication with the sensor element part, wherein a thermal barrier is provided between the sensor element part and the further part,
- wherein the reactionware is a reaction flask having one or more necks, and the lower housing of the analytical device is for holding in a neck of the reaction flask, and
- wherein the lower housing is proportioned to allow for insertion through said neck of the reaction flask, and is suitably elongate to extend into a reaction space of the reaction flask when the lower housing is held in the neck of the reaction flask such that the plurality of sensors are placed in the reaction space of the reaction flask.
