Singulex Early Stage Biomarker Detection
Singulex uses immunoassay testing to detect biomarkers. The process is a biochemical test that measures the presence or absence of a small molecule in a solution by using an antibody or an antigen. Immunoassays rely on the ability of the antibody or antigen to recognize and bind to a specific macromolecule.

Understanding Field of View
IRt/c’s are rated optically for their field-of-view by the actual dimensional equations describing their construction. However, there are, in practice, some secondary effects that can influence performance,
Bread and Pastry Dough Mixing Temperature
Measuring the temperature of bread and pastry dough while mixing is difficult at best with conventional contact thermocouple probes, due to breakage and possible contamination of the food. However, the temperature is quite important since too high a temperature will cause too much rise, leading to holes in the baked product, and too low a […]
Exergen Global Announces Sensoranics Methodology
Exergen Global today introduced its Sensoranics Methodology, a unique, proprietary, integrated approach to developing best-in-class infrared temperature sensor solutions for complex production processes across all industries.
IRT/C Monitors Plastic Injection Mold Clearing
In high volume plastic injection molding machinery, a molded part that does not clear the mold can cause serious problems, including a long downtime to clean up or make repairs. A particularly useful property of the mold is its shininess, which means low emissivity. Accordingly, the infrared radiation from an open mold is primarily reflected […]
Blow Molding
When a set temperature is reached, the preform is moved to the blow molding section of the machine, it is molded in the shape by applying pressurized air.
Why Color Does Not Affect Readings
In many IRt/c installations, such as paint curing, web drying, printing, etc., the temperature control system must be able to accurately measure materials with a variety of colors. Ideally the same calibration set-up would be used for all colors, rather than having to calibrate each time a new color is run. Because the IRt/c measures […]
Clean Air Purge for microIRt/c’s
The Challenge Infrared temperature sensors are ideally suited for use in manufacturing, textiles, printing and other production settings. They provide a highly effective solution to ensure machinery does not overheat or otherwise malfunction. Oil, thread, dust, airborne chemicals and other debris emitted during production can quickly obscure the IR temperature sensing heads. The smallest amount […]
Infrared Fixation on Large Format Printers
General Information Flags, carpet, tiles and everything else that is printed on Large Format Printers with protective paint needs to be completely dried, cured or fixated before the end-products can be cut, folded, or otherwise worked on. Depending on the paint, most of the inks are water-based and short- or middle wavelength IR lamps can […]
How the Pit Viper Measures Infrared Radiation
Like the IRt/c Infrared Thermocouple, the pit viper has the ability to “see” infrared radiation.
Pit vipers comprise a family of snakes that share a sophisticated thermal adaptation that stems from the evolution of specialized pit organs located near their eyes.
Exergen Global’s Temperature Sensor Ensures Safety, Efficiency for Ablation System
Exergen Non-Contact Sensor Plays Key Role in NeuWave Medical’s Certus® 140 Cooling System NeuWave Medical Inc. develops devices that deliver energy to the human body to treat a variety of serious medical conditions. The company’s Certus® 140 Microwave Ablation System is the premier soft tissue ablation offering worldwide. It is a platform product with expanding […]
Measuring Blood Temperature in Perfusion Systems
To ensure that the correct blood temperature is maintained from start to finish, the amount of heat applied to the blood must be tightly controlled and be adjusted to the flow and inlet temperature of the donor blood.
Non-Contact Heat Sealing Temperature Control for Packaging Machinery with IRt/c’s
IRt/c infrared thermocouples can accurately control the temperature of rotating and moving stainless steel heaters common in the packaging industry, without touching the heaters. Typically, uncoated stainless steel heaters are difficult for IR sensors to measure reliably because of reflected infrared signals that can change after after a heater surface is cleaned. The solution to […]
