Used in laboratory environments, analytical instrumentation equipment is designed to increase functionality while reducing size to free up precious lab space. Packing more electronics into a tighter footprint increases the heat flux, which leads to thermal challenges. Thermoelectric cooler assemblies offer cooling solutions that enable OEMs to meet thermal challenges with advanced temperature, humidity and moisture control.
Electron Microscopes
Electron microscopes are advanced laboratory tools capturing high-resolution images to reveal texture, shape and contours of biological and inorganic specimens. For maximum image quality, electronic components and samples need to be kept at optimal temperatures.

Liquid Chromatography
Liquid chromatography is used for analyzing mixtures by separating, identifying, and quantifying their constituent components. Temperature control plays a major role in the separation process by influencing the interactions taking place between the sample components and adsorbent. Thermoelectrics offer precise temperature control, fast temperature ramp rates and great efficiency for liquid chromatography equipment.

Mass Spectrometry
Mass spectrometry tools utilize an ion source, mass analyzer and detector to determine the chemical composition of a sample. The process of generating plasma and creating electron beams generate large amounts of heat that must be quickly dissipated away to ensure accurate results and proper operation.
