Microfluidic systems are nonturbulent, highly miniaturized devices that contain networks of microchannels for fluids to pass through or be contained in. The properties and behavior of the microliter quantities of fluids—which are often much different compared to fluids on a macroscale—are then monitored. Microfluidic systems are generally used in controlled biological experiments to facilitate operations […]
Mechanical ventilation systems, also known as respirators, got a lot of press in the early part of 2020. The coronavirus had policymakers and the medical field scrambling to find enough to help fight the virus and keep Americans safe from the dreaded virus. Mechanical ventilators date back to the early 1800s in the form of […]
When hospitals improve their efficiency, everyone wins. Doctors, nurses, administrators, support staff, and most important, the patients win when hospitals are operating at peak efficiency. Inefficiency in any business will lead to reduced revenues, increased costs, and angry customers, and hospitals are no different. Patients end up waiting too long in the pre-op department or […]
During their careers, most intensive care unit (ICU) doctors will spend a lot of time using ventilators. They will be staring at the screens, making small adjustments, talking about them, and being appreciative that they exist. Because doctors and nurses in the ICU will spend so much time working with the machines, it’s remarkable how […]
Flow metering technology is always getting better. Manufacturers are always finding ways to improve their products, making them more precise and easier to monitor. Review these considerations when choosing a mass flow controller as you design your application. Each flow meter application is unique, and the selection of a mass flow controller shouldn’t be based […]
