The 886 Professional Thermostat / Reactor is operated with MagIC Net
software. It is connected via a USB cable to a PC on which MagIC Net is
installed. The software automatically recognizes the instrument and
checks its functional readiness. MagIC Net controls and monitors the
instrument, and documents heating power and reagent flow rates in a
database.
Additional information on operating the software can be found in the
document "Tutorial for MagIC Net" or in the online help.
1.2 Intended use
The main function of the 886 Professional Thermostat / Reactor is post-
column derivatization (PCR). In the process, chemicals are brought to a
reaction in a heated atmosphere. It is also possible to perform pre-column
reactions.
This instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable sam-
ples. The usage of the 886 Professional Thermostat / Reactor therefore
requires that the user has basic knowledge and experience in the handling
of toxic and caustic substances. Knowledge with respect to the applica-
tion of the fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also
mandatory.
1.3 About the documentation

mostat / Reactor. Chapters which are valid for both model versions are not
especially marked. Chapters, however, which are only valid for one of the
model versions are marked in the title with the number and name of the
corresponding model version (e.g. "Installing the 2.886.0110 Professional
Reactor" or "Installing the 2.886.0210 Professional Thermostat").
