Analytical Instrumentation
Analytical instrumentation includes equipment or devices used in the analysis of organic and inorganic solid materials, gases or chemical compounds. Instrumentation is used throughout the industrial, scientific research, environmental and security industries. In general, the instruments are designed to perform a limited number of analyses, which target a specific organic or inorganic measurement.
Depending on the type of instrumentation and materials being analyzed, process temperatures generally range from 300 to 400°C (572 to 752°F) with some environmental monitoring instrumentation operating over 1000°C (1832°F). Watlow has a variety of solutions that cover the range of process temperature. ULTRAMIC® advanced ceramic heaters are excellent for injectors in gas chromatographs and ion sources in mass spectrometers, while cartridge and tubular heaters may be used calorimeters. Ceramic fiber heaters are great heater solutions for environment monitoring applications.
Watlow's integrated thermal solution teams have core competency to combine a heater component with sensors, controllers and other mechanical components to provide turnkey solutions. The EZ-ZONE™ ST integrated control loop integrates temperature process with power control to provide a compact, high-performance solution.
