High Pressure Sapphire Reactors

High-pressure reactors that allow visual inspection of the internal volume are designed to study physical and chemical systems and their transformations when exposed to high pressures and temperatures.

Equipment of this type can be used both for simple observation of the system without monitoring macroscopic parameters, and for conducting processes at strictly defined temperature, pressure and volume. Thanks to the use of synthetic sapphire, the proposed system has excellent optical characteristics in a wide range of the spectrum and allows the processes to be conducted in fairly aggressive environments.
