  • Immunotherapy is an evolving and promising cancer treatment that works by stimulating the immune system. More biologically relevant human primary cells are now the chosen starting material for immunotherapy development. Historically, scientists routinely used immortalized cell lines in the research and development of therapies as they offer an inexpensive and stable platform. However, they are not fully representative of what is going on in vivo.

  • The MDPX-00006PSM is a versatile MMIC surface-mount diplexer designed to multiplex signals across two distinct frequency ranges: low-frequency DC to 10 GHz and high-frequency 12 to 28 GHz.

  • Turner Designs turbidity sensors provide accurate, stable measurements of suspended particulates in natural waters. With low power requirements and a compact design, they integrate easily into process control or field platforms. Rated to 200 meters, these sensors support sediment transport studies, water clarity monitoring, and coastal change research, delivering reliable turbidity data in real time.

  • We cover the pre-assembly of a plastic syringe with cannula, as well as the final assembly of multi-component syringes (4-8 or 8-12 components).

  • Neither traditional nor hybrid clinical trials can operate on rigid EDC systems.

    They require flexible data collection systems that support protocol amendments without downtime and accept mobile data without hassle. As a cloud-native solution, TrialKit bends to accommodate mid-study changes. And as the first full-featured EDC platform available as a native mobile app, TrialKit flexes to meet the demands of traditional, hybrid/decentralized, and completely remote clinical trials.

    Give your team the freedom to build, deploy, and manage their studies, their way—weeks faster than with rigid EDCs and for a fraction of the cost of the major players.

Instrumentation
The science of measuring and controlling variables is termed instrumentation. As the name suggests, the process involves using a wide variety of instruments. These are classified as any device that can measure amounts that are physically quantifiable. These instruments do not have to be extremely complex in design. For example, the ruler is an instrument to measure distance, and a simple thermometer measures temperature.
Instruments specific to petrochemical processing include platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD’s), P/I Converters, many types of level meters, chromatographs, and continuous gas analyzers. These instruments are essential to the day to day instrumentation at petrochemical plants, as it is impossible to gauge to the necessary extent by estimation alone. Human error is inevitable, but an instrument can easily be calibrated or replaced.
Now that you understand the definition of and tools used in instrumentation, you should also understand the necessity of it. Temperature and pressure meters serve to ensure that the environment stays safe for both the chemicals being processed and the employees of the plant. Heat is a very well-documented activator in chemical reactions. If the temperature rises to unusual levels, this could spark an undesired chemical reaction that could prove catastrophic. The flow meter must measure how much oil is leaving the refinery, as it is a very volatile substance. Analytical instruments, such as the chromatograph, analyze the chemical make-up of the refined oil. This allows for the opportunity to make sure that the chemical make-up is correct, giving evidence that the process was correctly completed at all stages of refinement.
