You can use Logger Pro for computers or the LabQuest. For computers, Logger Pro 3.8 or newer is required. Download the free update link >>> For LabQuest, LabQuest App 1.3 or newer is required. Download the free update link >>> FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: • What type of column does the Mini GC use? The column is a Restek MXT-1. It is a stainless steel capillary column, 11 meters long. The column is non-polar. • What is the carrier gas used by the Mini GC? The Mini GC uses air as the carrier gas. However, there is a port to which bottles of another carrier gas may be attached (such as helium, nitrogen, or even compressed air). • Do you have lab experiments written for the Mini GC? Yes. A lab manual, which contains five experiments, is shipped with each Mini GC. The experiments are also available as a free download link >>> #labs» • Will the Mini GC work with a LabQuest? Yes. Your LabQuest will need the latest App, version 1.3. Download the latest update link >>> » • Which version of Logger Pro 3 runs the Mini GC? Version 3.8. If your school owns any version of Logger Pro 3, the upgrade to version 3.8 is free of charge.
