| #5 IRt/c for Medical Diagnostic Equipment: IRt/c.2G-J-37 |
| Many processes in clinical diagnostics and therapies involve blood samples and other fluids that must be heated to 98.6°F (37°C) for optimum performance. Since sterility and absolute prevention of contamination are paramount, measuring and controlling fluid temperatures is not a trivial task. Using accurate thermistors or thermocouples in the disposable fluid handling components is generally much too expensive, and use of contact devices creates the risk contamination and inaccuracies. |
|
| The IRt/c is an excellent solution to the problem. Its small size, low cost, and easy interface with standard thermocouple closed-loop control circuitry are ideal. The IRt/c.2G J-37 is designed and calibrated to be highly accurate at 37°C. The J-type is offered because the leads are easily soldered to circuit boards with standard materials, and off-the-shelf cold junction compensation amplifiers are available. It is equipped with a hard pure germanium crystal lens that withstands repeated cleanings, and a fail-safe xenon gas fill system. Its hermetically sealed stainless steel construction permits it to be gas sterilized. |
