All temperature deviations can be minimized by e.g. an optional inner glass door of the heating oven for visual inspections. Automated data acquisition of gas volume and flow rate from biogas batch fermentation systems through real time data logging with Windows® software »RIGAMO«. (suitable for up to 24 RITTER Milli Gas counters). Graphical and tabular display, printing and storing of measurement data.
Tubular Furnace A tube furnace is an electric heating device used to conduct syntheses and purifications of inorganic compounds and R&D purposes. The furnace provides heating up to 1200 °C under controlled inert and oxygen flow environment.
Bio-Non composites synthesis Unit The Unit consist of fully programmed hot plate stirrer with temperature probe connected with reflux system. Ultrasonicator instrument provide effective dispersion of nanoparticles within the liquid matrix and allow homogenous dispersion when incorporated using co- precipitation and sol gel synthesis method.
BINDER vacuum drying chamber BINDER vacuum drying chamber models enable effective drying without residue or damaging the material being dried. With their proven technological features, the excellently address the strict requirements of industrial and scientific laboratories. Samples and similar materials incorporating flammable and non-flammable solvents can be dried, depending on the individual use. The chambers use a unique safety design that, together with accustomed outstanding performance, sets the bar in terms of quality and safety.
