    PHCbi High Performance Pharmaceutical Refrigerator: MPR-S500RH-PA

    PHCbi brand’s 19.5 cu.ft. (554 L) pharmaceutical refrigerator with adjustable shelving and forced-air circulation help helps ensures uniform temperature control from 2°C to 14°C. The sliding glass door design minimizes air loss and supports easy access in high-use environments. A microprocessor controller and OLED display feature excellent visibility and intuitive operation utilizing control buttons that provide convenient, yet secure, user commands. Refrigeration temperature can be displayed in 0.1°C increments, and the minimum and maximum temperatures within the previous 12 and 24 hours are displayed. Audible and visual alarms with adjustable setpoints warn of deviations from setpoint temperatures, and all alarm conditions are displayed and recorded. A password-protected control interface assures operational security. Natural hydrocarbon refrigerants and inverter compressor technology deliver quiet, energy-efficient performance with fast recovery. ENERGY STAR® Certified.

    Antibody-Drug Conjugates

    Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are the emerging class of anti-cancer therapeutic drugs. ADCs combine an antibody capable of recognizing cancer cells and cytotoxic small-molecule drugs via cleavable or non-cleavable linkers, thereby transforming the 3-unit combination into a targeted therapeutic drug for cancer treatment. In recent years, ADCs have rapidly developed and there are not only more than 14 approved drugs on the market but also many investigational drugs undergoing clinical trials. Furthermore, ADCs have shown potential for treating various diseases beyond cancer, such as Autoimmune disorders, Infectious diseases, Inflammatory conditions and so on.

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.
