The Energetic Materials Research Laboratory (EMRL) provides the information necessary to make decisions about the safe preparation, handling, and scale-up of homemade explosives. The purchase of an Optimax 1001 with an RX-10 for development of a modulated reactor system will enhance the EMRL’s capacity for handling large scale syntheses while the in-situ ReactRaman 802 and ParticleTrack G400 with iC FBRM probes will provide invaluable feedback on product quality. The Optimax and RX-10 will provide the EMRL with the ability to scale up synthesis with the same safety and confidence the lab personnel and customers have come to expect from the EasyMax 102. Additionally, the software that runs the EasyMax 102, Optimax 1001, ReactRaman 802 and ParticleTrack G400 probes, RX-10, are completely interoperable allowing data to be readily displayed together in real-time. This interoperability makes the probes and peripherals of the EasyMax 102, RX-10, and Optimax 1001 interchangeable, allowing currently purchased and newly purchased probes and peripherals to be used across the suite of instruments while also providing a backup if one were to break or malfunction. DHS requires the acquisition of a new Optimax 1001 equipped with an in-situ ReactRaman 802 and ParticleTrack G400 with iC FBRM and a RX-10 reactor control system. The following salient characteristics are required for the Optimax 1001: Operating Volume: 250 mL – 1,000 mL Temperature Range: -40 °C – 180 °C Unit shall not require oil or ice baths, or a cryostat to achieve full temperature range Unit shall have a solid state thermostat Unit must be capable of heat flow calorimetry Unit shall provide for investigation under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions Allows measurement of heat data Allows calculation of heat of reaction, reaction enthalpy, specific heat capacity, heat of dosing and accumulated heat Provides a measurement of the overall heat transfer coefficient Must require no permanent heater active within the reaction mixture that could create hotspots of overheating Unit shall include software that allows for either PC or touchpad control of the system and that allows for the collection and identification of reaction data. Includes a chemical database available to store information such as chemical formula, boiling point, molecular weight, density, specific heat Runs under Windows 10 (64bit) Ability to export all graphical elements, spectra, and trends to a common data format Unit shall include four (4) syringe based automated dosing units (expandable to at least 4) to allow for the automated dosing of up to 4 reagents Unit shall include (2) 50 mL syringes Unit shall include (2) 25 mL syringes Unit shall include (4) 3-way dosing adapter sets Unit shall include a reactor set which consist of (1) 250 mL glass reactor with cover (1) 500 mL glass reactor with cover (1) 1000 mL glass reactor with bottom drain valve and glass cover Unit shall include (2) complete pitched blade stirrers which consist of Stirrer motor with coupling Height adjustment Stirrer adapter with sealing ring Clamping nut Chuck Washer for stirrer adapter (1) 250 mL glass stirrer (1) 500-1,000 mL glass stirrer (2) Emergency Button (4) Temperature sensors On-site Training, Installation, Setup and Configuration and all associated costs (i.e., travel) shall be included Full repair and preventative maintenance coverage for 2 years from the date of installation must be included Must include or allow for future expansion for IR/Raman spectroscopic measurements of synthesis products in situ.
