CIRCORTech provides the parts needed to construct a pMS3 system, build to order complete systems, and a wide range of SP76 surface mount components for NeSSl systems. They also provide services for designing and installing their pMS3 systems according to customer specihcahons. 

The perceived advantages of the pM S 3 system are its inherent simplicity (only one type of substrate, the basic building block, used throughout and standard collection of tubesets), ease of assembly (only two hex-head screw sizes and same size o-ring for all seals), easy detection of leaks (due to visible tubeset connections under the system), and easy adaptation to any flow configuration required by customer s application.

E 2] [R 17] The process analyzer and sample-handling system MPC introduced by Swagelok also offers the possibility of performing as a process toolkit. Sensors are already supplied (see Section 4.11.2). Micro reactors are still not available from the supplier but a software configurator exists with pipe layout functions [23].
