AMPTS - Model III -Automatic Methane Potential Test System
Market-leading analytical tool for anaerobic batch fermentation testing. The Automatic Methane Potential Test System (AMPTS®) is the market-leading analytical tool for anaerobic batch fermentation testing. Now on its third generation, AMPTS III is automated and fully integrated for easy access to sampling, analysis, recording and report generation. AMPTS III houses 18 glass reactors for tests in its standard form, or your can choose the slimmed down AMPTS III Light, which houses 9 glass reactors.
