Watlow’s FLUENT® In-Line Heater Helps Home Hemodialysis Device Maker Meet Multiple Challenges

When a home medical device manufacturer approached Watlow® for a thermal solution for its home hemodialysis device, Watlow delivered an innovative solution that not only met requirements for size and safety, but also improved the overall system.

Smaller, Safer Medical Devices Require a Next Generation Thermal System

Home medical devices must meet higher safety standards. Thermal solutions can improve performance and meet those standards, but they will need to be designed using a system approach.

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

PM PLUS Controller

Watlow’s PM PLUS™, the enhanced EZ-ZONE® PM, is now more intuitive and features an enhanced interface for easier programming and readability with a SMOOTH-TOUCH™ keypad creating an industry leading user experience. The PM PLUS is backwards compatible with legacy EZ-ZONE PM controllers but offers many user upgrades including an intuitive menu flow allowing the controller to be easily configured. It also continues to offer the industry leading Bluetooth® connectivity with the EZ-LINK™ mobile app for remote access capability and full descriptions of parameters and error codes. The PM PLUS improves the user experience by reducing the complexity at the front of the control while eliminating the dependency of cables when configuring the product.

F4T’s Sleek Look Gets Noticed

Tabletop instruments designed for test laboratories need to meet an expectation for a certain look and feel while still having industry-leading capabilities. The F4T with INTUITION® brings both to the table

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.
