Why choose BPC® Core?
Effortless operation, maximum convenience
It’s automatic. This translates to reduced labour costs and no need for expert assistance. A user-friendly, intuitive interface simplifies the setup and monitoring of gas evolution or consumption processes. Whether it’s a research project or an industrial application, using BPC® Core is a breeze. Just fill the flow cell units with water, connect to a power source, then start your experiment.
Accurate measurements in any environment
Utilising real-time temperature, pressure and humidity compensation ensures all gas volume and flow measurements are accurate across different environments
Versatile gas volume and flow measurement
BPC® Core offers users the ability to measure low gas volume and flow with exceptional accuracy and precision. This intelligent analytical instrument finds application in a wide array of fields, serving both research and industrial purposes, including biogas, biodegradability, animal nutrition, biohydrogen GHG emissions and more.
Structured data handling
Gas measurements, experiment settings and exported results are handled in one platform, reducing the need for separate files and manual calculations.
Calibration free
BPC® Core’s calibration-free flow cell units come in two resolutions (2 and 9 ml) and can be exchanged at any point.
