Looking for pressure vessel for microwave use

stoichiometric_steve - 5-12-2018 at 06:15

Can anyone recommend a certain type of vessel that would be suitable to use for microwave synthesis?

I already have a really think walled PTFE microwave vessel for digestion of organic samples, i.e. in water or food analysis, but its volume is way too little (probably like 10ml).

I'm looking for something upwards of 150-250ml.

Chemglass has quite a few glass pressure vessels available in that volume range. They have a guaranteed working pressure of 60 PSI although they test everything up to 150 PSI. There are also listings on eBay.
