Drying Oven

Across a large range of industries and research laboratories, drying ovens are useful for both simple applications (glassware drying/sterilization) and more complex processes which require controlled conditions (bonding and curing).

Probe-type Ultrasonic Homogenizer

The ultrasonic probe device can be used for open beaker applications or in continuous processing using a closed flow-through mode. Using a sonicator probe instead of an ultrasound bath, the intense sonication zone is focused directly beneath the probe. The sonicator probe outperforms the standard ultrasound bath by a factor of 1000.

DSP Lock-In Amplifier

Lock-in amplifiers are useful tools for the detection and measurement of very small AC signals, even as small as a few nanovolts. The amplifier allows accurate measurements even for small signals usually obscured by noise sources many thousands of times larger. Using phase-sensitive detection, a signal with a specific reference frequency and phase can be singled out and recorded. The noise signal with different frequency than the one used as reference is rejected and does not interfere with the measurement.
