What changes with AMPTS® III?

See what the latest AMPTS® III generation adds, including increased capacity, a broader range of applications, individually replaceable measurement cells and more flexible gas measurement.


More samples in each run

The standard AMPTS® III has 18 channels, compared with 15 on AMPTS® II. That means more room for samples, blanks or replicates in the same experiment.



Broader range of applications

AMPTS® III goes beyond BMP testing. It can also be used for biogas potential, SMA, RGP and other batch fermentation tests. The system supports methane, total biogas and other fermentation gases, including applications involving water soluble gases.



BMP calculations during the experiment

Aurora 1.4 calculates BMP as measurements arrive. Group your samples and follow their progress while the test is running, with calculated results included in your reports.



More control over your data

Adjust gas normalisation settings and download raw data for further analysis. Aurora 1.4 also provides an open API for connecting experiment data to other systems.


BPC Next Extend

Keep your AMPTS® II and bring it up to date

For €5,000, BPC Next Extend updates selected electronics and components in your existing AMPTS® II so it can run Aurora 1.4 while keeping the current 15 channel configuration.

  • Aurora 1.4 with live BMP calculations and open API access
  • Updated electronic hardware
  • Improved compatibility with current accessories
  • New quick connectors for easier tubing connections

Flexible payment options

For BPC Next Upgrade and selected instrument purchases, we offer flexible payment options to spread the cost over time rather than paying the full amount upfront.

Talk to our team about the payment options available for your investment.

Subject to eligibility, credit approval and availability. Terms may vary by market and purchase.

Making more of your investment

“Our instruments often serve laboratories for many years. With BPC Next, we want that investment to count when customers are ready to upgrade, and again when the next generation comes along. Taking back the previous system also lets us assess what can be refurbished or recycled, so we make better use of the equipment and materials already in circulation.”
