PRODUCTS

  • The AMP2102ADB is engineered for EMI/RFI testing, laboratory environments, CW/pulse operations, and a variety of communication applications.

  • FILTRASORB® granular activated carbon (GAC) represents Calgon Carbon’s signature product line, providing over 60 years of successful contaminant removal. Developed for the removal of organic compounds from water, Calgon Carbon’s best-in-class FILTRASORB products have the trifecta of key activated carbon attributes: high overall performance, strength/durability, and competitive pricing. Acting as a dual-purpose media, FILTRASORB provides both filtration and adsorption for treating surface water and groundwater in the production of clean, safe drinking water.

  • The Model 75S6G18C is a solid-state, Class A design, self-contained, aircooled, broadband power amplifier designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain and linearity are required.

  • Nearly 30 years ago, researchers were looking for a way to grow mouse sarcoma cells. The solution? The development of Corning Matrigel matrix. Matrigel is a solubilized basement membrane preparation extracted from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma, a tumor rich in such ECM proteins as laminin (a major component), collagen IV, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors.

    Today, this natural ECM-based hydrogel is among the most widely used models for 2D and 3D cell culture in vitro, enabling you to:

    • Improve the attachment and differentiation of both normal and transformed anchorage-dependent epithelioid cells, as well as other cell types.
    • Better mimic in vivo environments for 2D and 3D cell culture applications.
  • Lumiso Expert is a robust multi-parameter photometer with an extensive range of testing parameters. For users operating in water maintenance industries, such as drinking water and wastewater who need to perform water analysis testing in-situ or in laboratory environments, across frequent and less frequently used parameters.

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.
