Life Sciences
Users in biotechnology, pharmacy and medical technology employ Pt temperature sensors in thin-film technology from Heraeus Sensor Technology for the most varied measurement tasks.
One of the main reasons is the biological compatibility of platinum, i.e. there is no chemical or biological interaction between the sensor and the material under investigation. Consequently, the risk of contamination by the measurement probe is excluded.
A further reason is the wide temperature measurement range available with one single sensor, extending from applications in cryotechnology (liquid nitrogen, -196°C) to temperatures well above those prevailing under sterilisation procedures. Pt temperature sensors from Heraeus Sensor Technology are characterised in this range of applications by their optimised long-term properties and they continue to supply reproducible accurate measurements also after many changes in temperature.
Medical technology
Typical fields of application for Pt temperature sensors can be found in dialysis systems, incubators, centrifuges, gas chromatographs, narcotics evaporators and various analytical and diagnostic systems.
Multi-sensor platform
Heraeus Sensor Technology provides components with structured thin platinum films customised as a multi-sensor platform. Depending on the further coating of the supplied platinum structures by the customer, the most varied sensors for humidity and gases can be manufactured.
The heater, temperature sensors and, where applicable, the IDC structure can be adapted to the respective application.
