Self Aligning Integral Stirrer Drive
- The integral hinged design permits full access to the reactor lid and ports, ensuring the quick and easy removal of the lid and stirrer guide
- Correct stirrer alignment is assured every time, with no requirement to align the stirrer motor between procedures, saving valuable time in setting up new experiments
- Low profile drive mechanism reduces the overall height of the unit to ensure that Lara™ will easily fit into a standard fume cupboard

Control and Monitoring of Devices
- Integral electronics allow the direct connection and configuration of up to three sensors (such as temperature, pH, turbidity and conductivity) and one effector (such an analogue pump). Plus one digital input/output socket
- System configurations are readily interchangeable or upgradeable as user requirements evolve
- Additional sensor and output (effector) ports are available via the Lara™
Expansion-Hub(s) which allows unlimited connectivity.
