The VWR heated and refrigerated circulators are available with the choice of four different upgraded controller designs.
Analogue controller - this economical unit uses a clear, skirted dial to reduce the effects of parallax and permit more accurate temperature setting.
Standard controller - features a larger, green LED readout as well as three user-defined presets to facilitate temperature set for different applications.
Digital controller - features a full, backlit, graphic, multi-language display, 0.01C stability, five-speed duplex pump and an RS232 interface.
The display features a single knob encoder that guides the user through simple-to-understand programs and control of parameters.
Programmable controller - offers all the same features of the digital controller, and adds convenient time/temperature ramping programmability and remote temperature capability.
The controller can store up to ten programs of 50 steps each.
Microsoft Excel macros, National Instruments Labview drivers and Palm OS software are included for optimum versatility.
