Low cost solution for temperature controlled applications in life sciences can accommodate up to 49 samples in microtubes and heats from 25 to 100C in just 11 minutes
The Squirrel data logger is used to validate the washing and disinfecting cycles in the machines which are then sold to the healthcare market for cleaning surgical instruments and hollowware (bowls etc.) The tests are described in a document called 'health and technical memorandum 2030' (HTM 2030) issued by the NHS.
These requirements are to monitor the temperatures under various conditions ie, loaded, unloaded.
The temperatures are then checked to ensure they meet recommended disinfection temperatures in the load and at various points around the washing chamber.
The SQ1600 was chosen for its simplicity of operation and high accuracy when monitoring temperature.
