- Tubing connectors to simplify and ensure a good and tight
connection between the tubing and the inlet of the flow cell
chamber and the outlet of the reactor
- Push-in valves to simplify the flushing step of the headspace
of the reactor in order to create an anaerobic environment
- New tubing markers for easy identification of the different
channels
- New tool for removing lids and tubing
