Predefined device combinations

Core combinations

Get a Core license and start monitoring and controlling any of the setups described here.

Hydrogen

1x Pump; two models are available: 

Automatically pump into your vessel while mixing your solution with a magnetic stirrer.

Helium

1x Pump Hei-Flow Ultimate 120

1x Overhead stirrers; three models are available:

Automatically pump into your vessel while mixing your solution with an overhead stirrer.

Lithium

1x Pump Hei-Flow Ultimate 120, Heidolph

1x Magnetic stirrer Hei-Connect, Heidolph

1x pH sensor ARC Easy Ferm Plus, Hamilton

This device combination allows you to reach and control the desired pH in your vessel: when the measured pH is below your target, an alkaline solution is pumped into your vessel.

Of course, you can also define an acid-based controller that can actively lower the pH.

Beryllium

1x Pump; two models are available:

1x scale; two models are available:

With this device combination, you can dose solutions reliably, accurately, and automatically. You set in the software UI the mass of solution you want to add to your vessel, and the pump dispenses it automatically based on the feedback from the scale: when the target amount is reached, the pump stops.

Boron

1x Pump; two models are available: 

1x Temperature probe

With this device combination, you can automatically stop or start the pumping into your vessel based on the measured temperature. For example, in case of an exothermic reaction, in the software UI, you can set at which temperature the pumping of a reagent in the vessel must stop and at which temperature it must start again.

Carbon

1x Overhead stirrer; three models are available:

1x Magnetic stirrer Hei-Connect, Heidolph

1x Temperature probe

Control the temperature in your vessel with a magnetic stirrer and stir your viscous solution with an overhead stirrer.

Nitrogen

1x Overhead stirrer Hei-Torque Ultimate 200, Heidolph

1x Thermostat; three models are available:

This setup including an overhead stirrer and a thermostat enables you to program the basic environmental parameters for chemical reactions. The stirrer speed can also be controlled by the temperature in the vessel.

Expert combinations

Each device combination described here is available with an Expert license. 

Potassium

1x Pump Hei-Flow Ultimate 120, Heidolph

1x pH sensor ARC Easy Ferm Plus, Hamilton

Overhead stirrer Hei-Torque Ultimate 200, Heidolph

1x Thermostat; three models are available:

With this device combination, on top of the basic chemical reactor functionalities, you can also control the pH in your vessel.

Calcium

1x pH sensor ARC Easy Ferm Plus, Hamilton

1x Overhead stirrer Hei-Torque Ultimate 400

1x Thermostat; three models are available:

With this device combination, on top of the basic chemical reactor functionalities, you can also trigger a change in the mixing speed and the temperature based on the measured pH. For instance, this setup can automate chemical reactions that must stop when a certain pH is reached.

Scandium

1x Pump Hei-Flow Ultimate 120, Heidolph

1x pH sensor ARC Easy Ferm Plus, Hamilton

1x Overhead stirrer Hei-Torque Ultimate 400

1x Scale

1x Thermostat; three models are available:

This chemical reactor, on top of offering pH-triggered functionalities, allows you to automatically, accurately, and reliably add the required amount of reagent or reactant to your vessel.

Titanium

2x Pump Hei-Flow Ultimate 120, Heidolph

1x pH sensor ARC Easy Ferm Plus, Hamilton

1x Overhead stirrer Hei-Torque Ultimate 400

Vanadium

2x Pump Hei-Flow Ultimate 120, Heidolph

1x pH sensor ARC Easy Ferm Plus, Hamilton

1x Overhead stirrer; two models available:

This device combination allows you to reach and control the desired pH in your vessel: when the measured pH is below your target, an alkaline solution is pumped into your vessel; when the measured pH is above your target, an acid solution is pumped into your vessel.
