VBF-MS series is a desktop molten salt reactor with a choice of reactors made in stainless steel or titanium. The system comes with a top flange with multiple feedthroughs to accommodate three electrodes, a K-type thermocouple for in-situ temperature reading, and a gas inlet and outlet. Such a design allows studies for molten salt electrolysis or battery on a lab scale.
