Pinch-Tube Inserts are available in PFA Teflon®. PFA Teflon® inserts can be used at high temperatures, PFA fittings also provide good chemical
resistance, particularly to toluene. (Figure 5).
The Reaction Tubes are sealed at the bottom by compressing the Pinch-Tubes, which project through the SiliCycle MiniBlock (Figure 6). This closure
is achieved for all Reaction Tubes simultaneously with a single turn of the T-handle valve key (Figure 7).
