Active Control

Active Control for Life Science Applications

Innovation to help Mass Flow Controller (MFC) and Electronic Pressure Controller (EPC) customers overcome a wide range of issues including flow controlling range, modularity, and size – all via a single, connected device.

Norgren understands the critical challenges faced by OEMs when using Mass Flow Controllers (MFC) and Electronic Pressure Controllers (EPC) in the Life Science industry.

 

A critical success factor for OEMs delivering instruments for life science applications within medical, analytical, diagnostic and biotechnology sectors, is the ability of system components to deliver exact control and precision-based performance.

Sizing challenges and cost pressures make it difficult for OEMs to find an adequate standard gas flow or pressure control solution. Additionally, the inability to handle a wide flow range and different media from a single device has forced many companies to specify the use of several mass flow and electronic pressure controller solutions within a single system. Not only does this extend the instrumentation footprint (and with it cost), but it also adds increased complexity to an already challenging scenario.

  • Greater focus on ultra-compact devices
  • Available installation space for analytical devices shrinking
  • Increasingly wide range of specifications for gas types, flow and pressure ranges
  • Highly dynamic, competitive environment with more focus on cost-effective solutions 

Within this, the roles of mass flow controllers (MFC) and electronic pressure controllers (EPC) are vital to ensure the measurement and control of essential gases used across many life science applications are highly accurate, precise and reliable.
