Nextreme™ Series, Recirculating Chillers

Thermoelectric Chillers for Precise Cooling of Digital Microscopes

Introduction

Modern microscopy equipment offers magnification, resolution, and contrast for visualization, measurement and analysis of microstructures to support imaging needs in life science and biotechnology research. Laboratory technicians have access to more sophisticated microscopy equipment than ever before providing high-quality images of cell structures. There are four types of microscopes; optical, electron, scanning probe microscopy, and the developing field of X-ray microscopy.

How to keep your additive manufacturing equipment cool


Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is finding an expanding role in the manufacturing process. There are many different types of 3D printing methods used to physically create a desired object. In this application note, we will focus on powder bed 3D printing, which uses heat from a laser-beam, electron-beam, or a thermal printhead to melt material together and create a solid object.





Machine Design Magazine: Heat Transfer a Cool Concept


Recirculating chillers deliver options for precise temperature control.

Using liquids for heat transfer is an important cooling method for many applications to maximize performance and operational life for thermally sensitive electronics and systems. As next generation systems feature more functionality in smaller, more compact form factors, precise temperature control has become more critical.





Nextreme™ Performance Chillers Simplify Research Labs






Laboratory equipment require precise temperature control to protect electronics or to control processes where temperature matters. The Nextreme Performance Chiller combines energy-efficiency with powerful cooling capability to meet the needs of modern laboratory equipment - all in a compact form factor.

Chillers Simplify the Lab

Introduction

Researchers have access to more sophisticated equipment than ever before. As labs work to become more automated to increase work flow, single-use systems are becoming more antiquated. Modern laboratory equipment offers more capabilities in smaller housings for researcher, as a single machine is now able to complete many different tasks. This is not only to cut down the cost of purchasing multiple pieces of equipment, but also to save precious lab bench space. One enabling factor of lab equipment miniaturization is the reduction in size of essential cooling systems.

Bath Cooling

Laboratory cooling baths are used to maintain below ambient temperatures of liquid mixtures, for example when collecting liquids after distillation or conducting chemical reactions with substances that require refrigeration or freezing. A cooling bath typically consists of a substance with high thermal conductivity mixed with either a solid material that melts at low temperatures or liquid with a low boiling point. While an ice/water mixture is the simplest and easiest type of cooling bath, dry ice or nitrogen are required for cooling below zero Celsius.  

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

PET scanning is a gamma-based imaging technique that allows doctors to detect early signs of cancer, brain disorders and heart diseases by identifying changes in organs and tissues at cellular level. In a PET scan, the patient is injected with a radioactive substance and placed on a flat table that moves into a donut-shaped housing called gantry.
