Cartridge Heaters Warming Premature Infants

Watlow’s engineering and manufacturing expertise can be a differentiator with customers. Laser blackening of a cartridge heater is a good example of being innovative with a well-established product. Years of testing may be required for life science applications.

Better Heaters Mean More Innovative Analytical Equipment Designs

How ULTRAMIC® advanced ceramic heaters offer more design flexibility for mass spectrometers and other pieces of analytical equipment Advanced ceramic heaters offer a number of benefits when it comes to the design and marketing of analytical equipment. Many of the heaters used in today’s analytical equipment are metal-sheathed heaters based on legacy technology designed some 20 or 30 years ago, potentially limiting design innovation. By contrast, today’s advanced ceramic heaters are smaller, respond faster, can be more accurately controlled and can be more resistant to environmental contamination. They also offer more design flexibility and are easier to integrate into equipment, simplifying the manufacturing and assembly process. Watlow’s ULTRAMIC advanced ceramic heaters in particular can help analytical equipment manufacturers improve product performance and design, as well as accelerate their time to market.
