BPC - Model Blue -Material Biodegradability Assessment
The Ultimate Choice for Material Biodegradability Assessment. BPC Blue is a state-of-art laboratory instrument specifically designed to determine the aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability of various biodegradable plastics and polymer materials in a wide range of simulated environmental conditions. The instrument is fully compliant with the most important ISO, European and American standards for biodegradability evaluation in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Featuring an automatic operation and an intuitive user-friendly design, the BPC Blue enables almost anyone to carry out the test and obtain highly accurate results.
- Web-based convenience: The user-friendly web-based software running on an embedded server, eliminating the need for software installation on PC, tablet
- or smartphones.
- Remote access: BPC Blue can be accessed remotely and locally from any device with a web browser, providing flexibility and convenience.
- Automated measurement: Enjoy automatic measurements with real-time pressure, temperature, and moisture compensation, ensuring accurate and reliable data acquisition.
- Real-time biodegradability calculation: Experience the convenience of real-time biodegradability calculation, eliminating the need for manual data processing. The instrument automatically performs the calculations as the experiment progresses.
- Calibration-free operation: BPC Blue operates without the need for calibration, simplifying maintenance and ensuring consistent performance.
- Multiplexing potential: Take advantage of the multiplexing capability, allowing simultaneous biodegradability analysis with different start-up times.
- Easy maintenance: The modular design of BPC Blue facilitates easy exchange, making maintenance hassle-free.
- Local data storage: All data is stored locally on the instrument, eliminating the dependence on external computers and ensuring data security.
- Streamlined data processing: Export data as a spreadsheet for further analysis, featuring a uniform time axis for easy processing and interpretation.
- High data storage capacity: With remarkable capacity of 7200 l of gas per channel, BPC Blue enables extensive data collection and analysis.
- Effective agitation: Benefit from proven strong, reliable, and multifunctional agitation, ensuring optimal mixing and reaction conditions.
- Various time intervals: BPC Blue generates outputs at customizable time intervals, ranging from a data point very minute to one every day, providing flexibility for your specific needs.
If you need to determine the biodegradability of a material, BPC Blue is the ideal instrument for the job. With its 18 (or 9) channels, you can test multiple samples at once, saving time and cost. Setting up a test is quick and easy, taking only 2-3 hours. After that, the instrument automatically performs sampling, analysis, recording and report generation for a seamless testing experience, including:
- A pre-calibrated instrument with excellent precision and accuracy
- User friendly, automatic operation with minimal time and labour demands
- Standardised measurements, data processing, and reports
- Easy-to-use software that calculates and presents the biodegradability in real time
Evaluate both aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability
BPC Blue offers the possibility to both evaluate the aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability of a material. For anaerobic analysis, BPC® Blue Anaerobic delivers precise and efficient data analysis of biogas release in various aqueous media, controlled slurry digestion systems, and high-solids anaerobic digestion settings. Meanwhile, for aerobic analysis, BPC® Blue Aerobic works in conjunction with BPC’s patented in-situ carbon dioxide absorption kit, which transforms it into a closed respirometer system that measures oxygen demand.
BPC Blue offers three different configurations to suit your testing needs: Aerobic for aerobic tests, Anaerobic for anaerobic tests, and Premium for both aerobic and anaerobic tests. Additionally, each configuration of BPC Blue is available in two versions: the standard 18-channel version and the more compact 9-channel Light version.
In comparison to conventional techniques or other available alternatives, BPC Blue greatly reduces the need for manual labour and minimises labour the likelihood of human errors. Once experiment preparation and setup are completed, BPC Blue seamlessly takes charge of the entire running process, ensuring an automated test until completion. This allows for real-time review and calculation of experimental data, which can be conveniently accessed anytime through the software Aurora™ user interface and a downloaded report.
Bid farewell to external computers and embrace the convenience of BPC Blue. Equipped with a generous storage capacity of 15 million data points, it allows you to collect up to 130,000 liters of gas per experiment, making it the perfect tool for your research and development needs. With built-in storage and processing capabilities, thanks to its onboard embedded microcontroller, BPC Blue efficiently stores all measurement data locally. This eliminates concerns about data loss caused by computer crashes or automatic operational system upgrades, saving you valuable time and effort. Say goodbye to interruptions and enjoy seamless operation with BPC Blue.
