Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of a Unistat over a traditional bath circulator?
Unlike open-bath circulators, Unistats use a closed-circuit system with a small internal volume. This allows for significantly faster heating and cooling rates, better pressure control, and higher stability in externally connected applications.
2. Can I use any heat transfer fluid in my Huber unit?
No, it is critical to use fluids that are compatible with the temperature range and the seals of your specific Huber model. We recommend using original Huber Thermofluid for optimal performance and equipment longevity.
3. Are Huber Minichillers suitable for quiet laboratory environments?
Yes, Huber Minichillers are specifically designed to be "whisper quiet" and compact, making them ideal for placement directly in the laboratory or on a benchtop without disrupting the workspace.
4. How does the E-grade functionality work on Huber controllers?
E-grade is an electronic upgrade system that allows you to unlock additional software features—such as enhanced control precision or automated programming—on your existing Pilot ONE controller as your research needs evolve.
