How modules combine

Build a system one module at a time

All modules share one housing format and stack side by side. Add a module, plug in one cable, and it appears in QB Control, ready to use in recipes. Step through the sequence to see a setup grow into an automated sampling system.

Starting setup: QB Edge with pumps, sensing, gas and mixingAdd a second QB Gas Flow: one PoE cable, QB Control discovers itAdd the QB Selector Valve for fluid routingAdd the QB Syringe PumpConnect the vessel and sample storage: ready for automated sampling
