SCIENCE & MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
From Vaccine Fridges to Spectrophotometers, the Components We Supply Manage Temperature, Pressure and Fluid Level Reliably
Many scientific processes need to be managed under closely controlled conditions. We work with manufacturers of medical and laboratory equipment, assisting their design and production teams with the specialised components they need.
Some of our customers produce fridges and freezers to store blood, plasma and vaccines at an accurate temperature. Other applications that require precise cooling include centrifuges, laboratory enclosures and test equipment for semiconductors.
The heating solutions we provide can be used to manage a wide range of temperatures, from simulating the temperature of human skin through to higher temperatures essential for sterilisers, autoclaves and laboratory ovens. We also offer components to control pressure and fluid levels with precision.

Ensuring Refrigeration is Properly Managed
In helping our customers to design or improve their refrigerated scientific and medical equipment, our first priority is to recommend components that will meet the stringent parameters of their application.
Another important consideration is the long-term reliability of these components.
Occasionally, we can identify parts that are designed to be quicker and easier to install, helping our customers to optimise their production lines.

Selecting the Right Heating Solution for Your Design
In our experience, no two design projects are the same. That's why we consider a wide range of options when selecting the right heating method, temperature probe and controller for each application.
We will consider factors such as response time, accuracy and temperature range. We will also how look at how these components can be customised to make sure they operate effectively within your product.

Precise Control of Pressure and Fluid Levels
Scientific and laboratory equipment can frequently require the measurement and control of liquids and gases.
Working closely with our suppliers, we can investigate appropriate float switches, capacitive fluid level sensors, pressure switches, solenoid valves and manifolds.
We will help to specify a component with the required physical size, material and operation - and assist your product design team with initial development through to final testing.

Refrigeration Components for Solar Powered Vaccine Fridges
We supply over 2000 R600A compressors a year for use in vaccine fridges manufactured by Polestar Cooling for Dulas. The units are used in remote parts of the world where there is no electricity.
Each unit features one or more Secop compressors that are optimised for use with solar power. Because vaccines must be stored at a precise temperature to remain viable, the fridges use a phase change material that freezes and thaws at exactly +5°C.

Cooling Solutions for Testing of Semi-Conductors
Semi-conductor microchips undergo rigorous testing at different temperatures to simulate real-world thermal stresses and detect defects.
We work with an international manufacturer of
test machines for integrated circuits. They rely upon Hitachi scroll compressors to create the precise cold conditions required in the test chamber.

Refrigeration Components for Circulating Baths
We supply R290 compressors as part of a cooling system designed to cool circluating baths as low as -25°C.
The desk-top baths are used in laboratories for sample preparation, chromatography and refractometry.
The choice of EMX fixed speed and VES variable speed compressors from Embraco takes advantage of their compact size and light weight. Other components we supply include condensers and temperature probes.
