Bomb reactor for solid state experiment

The bomb reactor is used for the synthesis of MoS₂. All pieces are made from stainless steel. It is important that the ignition wire (NiChrome) is long enough to be in contact with the mixture to ignite. A wire that is too long will cause short circuits and ultimately cause damage to the power supply (Variac). Make sure that you close it properly before attempting to ignite the mixture. Sulfur compounds destroy the catalyst of the glove box!
