Space-based Experiments
 

 

 

We have over fifteen years of experience in electro-mechanical computer-based control systems as well as automation.

Here are some examples.

Computer-Controlled Incubator

We have developed a computer-controlled incubator with temperature control by a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) loop.  This allows temperature to be maintained with +/- 0.2 degrees C.  The system allows for various sensors to be connected to the system for temperature, rH, CO2 and other parameters to be monitored.  PC-based control software allows the user to control the set point and monitor the chamber. The chamber is 6” square.

  

Miniature Bio-Reactor

 

We have tested a miniature rotating bioreactor with can be controlled by a PC with the rotation rate of the chamber variable.

 

 

Thermal Cycler

 

A thermal cycler/incubator has been developed which allows the user to change the temperature routine and temperature set point.  This allows the system to maintain temperature by a Thermo-Electric Cooler (TEC).  It can quickly ramp up/down to various set points and uses PID control to maintain temperature.

 

 

Biotechnology System Consulting

 

We provide engineering consultation and support for various biotechnology projects that need electro-mechanical engineering support.  For instance this is a 3-D model of a surgical device that we developed.  We also are creating the pump control system for this device.
