laird, a leader in thermal management solutions to protect electronics and enable connectivity, has announced an upgrade to its temperature controls “to optimize the performance of liquid chromatography equipment,” according to an announcement on www.scientist live.com.

combining the sr-54 series temperature control with the tunnel series or powercool series of thermoelectric assemblies (tea) will offer greater “speed of cooling response, temperature stability, resilience against temperature cycling, and resistance to damage by moisture intrusion.”

the assemblies are available in air-to-air or direct-to-air options and provide a more compact option with the minimal number of airflow paths compared to traditional impingement tea. the laird tea will provide high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) systems with temperature stability and protection against condensation.

in addition, the laird assemblies “utilize custom designed thermoelectric modules to generate heat-pumping action, which achieve a high coefficient of performance (cop) to minimize power consumption.” thanks to a solid state design, the assemblies also have low operating noise, long operating life, and low maintenance.

the sr-54 temperature controller adds monitoring and alarm capability and is easy-to-use with little programming required. the article continued, “the controller also lowers operational noise, as fans are turned off once the specified temperature has been reached inside the respective hplc sample tray and separation column.”
