The difference is in the yield. Before, I'd always lose a decent amount of crystal stuck to the walls of my flask during transfer to a filter. Now, everything stays in one pot. I can also wash the crystals more thoroughly and effectively right in the vessel. The material I get out is also drier, which makes a difference for analysis. It's a simple concept executed brilliantly.

Bought this for my R&D team. The integrated filtration means no more transferring between vessels, which means no more product loss in the transfer. Yields are up, my chemists are happier, and I get cleaner material. The explosion-proof motor is a nice touch for compliance.

We needed to scale up a purification step without adding complexity or cost. This reactor was the answer. Being able to crystallize and filter in the same vessel is a huge efficiency win. It reduces handling, which means less product loss and lower risk. For a small company like ours, that directly impacts the bottom line. The unit is robust and simple to operate. A smart investment that's already paying off.

I was skeptical about buying a complex glass system online, but the packaging alone won me over. It was a "foam fortress"—custom-cut foam around every single component. The true test came when an intern accidentally knocked the main kettle off a bench (don't ask). The floor tile shattered, but the thick-walled glass reactor only got a minor chip on the flange—no breach! That's insane durability. The stainless steel clamp stand is rock-solid with no flex. For the price, the build quality is unmatched. We're ordering a second one for the teaching lab.

Beyond the obvious stuff it does well (crystallizes, filters), the little things make a difference. The filter plate is sintered on really well – I was worried it might be a weak point, but it feels solid and hasn't leaked a bit. It just works without any drama, which is all you can ask for. Shipping was a non-event, which is the best kind of shipping. It showed up on time, in one piece.
