Polycarbonate enclosures boost durability of fume cupboard controls

The laboratory is a crucial setting as a controlled environment, across industrial and academic research, for pharmaceutical development. To ensure the quality of production samples, as well as to protect the safety of personnel operating within these environments, fume cupboards are essential.

Durable enclosures must protect the control system’s electronics, and Spelsberg UK has been supplying a major manufacturer of airflow monitors and controls with customised enclosures to protect the control systems.

Laboratory development and testing processes involve a range of potentially noxious chemicals and substances, and without a fume cupboard, the atmosphere within the lab can reach high concentrations of fumes, vapours, or dust. Temperature Electronics’ (TEL) systems regulate the air quality of lab and industry-scale production processes, to ensure safety and production efficacy. They are operating in thousands of laboratories across the world.

Supplying fume cupboard OEMs and laboratory companies around the world, Temperature Electronics, headquartered in Glossop, Derbyshire, designs and manufactures airflow monitoring and control systems. TEL’s technology is based on a proprietary airflow sensor that measures face or duct velocities.

The sensor’s key advantage is that its operation has no inherent drift, meaning that it provides stable, accurate readings across long-term operation, without the need for recalibration.
