Custom Temperature Controls For Molecular AnalysisA pharmaceutical and clinical diagnostic laboratory required decloaking instrumentation with specifications that called for a chamber that could be heated and cooled to precision temperature tolerances with a timing function for controlling the tissue sample dwell times.A USB serial port was required for accessing process data. Since physical space was limited, the OEM needed a small compact temperature control that could be easily mounted on the outside of the chamber while enhancing the products ascetics. Working closely with the OEM's design team, within six weeks we designed and delivered a custom electronic controls solution well within the project budget. The custom temperature control was designed to the OEMs mechanical specifications and included a precision 2,000 ohm RTD input, which achieved the accuracy requirements, digital display, output drivers, and USB serial port. The short design cycle enabled the OEM to achieve early market acceptance and significant market share.
