A single, flexible platform to grow from bench to pilot scale now available with Analis in Belgium and Luxembourg.
Scaling up a chemical process from bench to pilot plant often means changing equipment, retraining teams, and losing valuable process data along the way. Analis is pleased to announce the extension of the Radleys Reactor-Ready™ Pilot range with a new 50-litre jacketed vessel reinforcing one of the most flexible jacketed reactor platforms available for process development and scale-up chemistry.
Built on the same patented stirrer coupling and tool-free vessel exchange system as the well-established Radleys Reactor-Ready™ Flex (100 ml to 5 L), the Pilot range now spans 5 to 50 litres on a single framework; backed by more than 60 years of Radleys' expertise in scientific glassware manufacturing, and by Analis' technical support across Belgium and Luxembourg.
For laboratories running multiple fixed reactor set-ups or facing space and budget constraints during scale-up, this extension means one platform can now cover an entire development pathway from early process optimisation to pilot-scale production.
Key features
One versatile framework accepts interchangeable jacketed vessels, allowing a single reactor system to grow with your process:
- Vessel range: 5, 10, 20, 30, 35 and now 50 litres; tool-free exchange in minutes
- Temperature range: -70°C to +230°C, depending on vessel and thermofluid used
- Patented stirrer coupling: consistent mixing performance across all vessel sizes
- Lower Support Plate: required for 30, 35 and 50-litre vessels to ensure structural stability
- Compatibility: works with major circulator and thermoregulator brands on the market, with no or minor adjustments
- AVA software: subscription-free platform to monitor and schedule up to 16 connected devices from a single touchscreen or PC interface

Why choose Reactor-Ready™ Pilot
- One platform, multiple scales: avoid investing in separate fixed reactor systems for each project phase
- Space and budget efficiency: a single framework replaces several standalone set-ups in the lab
- Process continuity: consistent stirrer geometry and control logic from 5 L to 50 L reduces re-validation work when scaling up
- Centralised monitoring: AVA software gives full visibility and control over multiple reactors at once, without recurring software costs
Frequently asked questions
Yes. A Lower Support Plate is required when using the 30, 35 or 50-litre Reactor-Ready™ Pilot vessels to ensure proper structural support on the framework.
The Reactor-Ready™ Pilot platform is compatible with most major circulator and thermoregulator brands on the market, typically with no or only minor adjustments required.
Depending on the vessel and thermofluid used, the system operates across a range of -70°C to +230°C, using standard thermofluids.
Yes, the AVA software platform (subscription-free) can monitor and schedule up to 16 connected devices from a single touchscreen or PC interface.
Yes. It uses the same patented stirrer coupling and tool-free exchange system as the rest of the Pilot range, allowing labs already equipped with smaller vessels to scale up on the same framework.
