Low power data acquisition and logging electronics
A very low power data acquisition and logging electronics unit has been announced by BitBox of Basingstoke, for battery powered remote measurement systems.
The major problem for the research scientist has been to programme, modify and record these cycles, some of which can involve 30 heat/cool loops within an hour.
Using the graphical display improves the operator interface, making simpler and more easily understood programming.
In addition the new Touchgene unit has Smart memory cards, which can be removed by the researcher after using the thermal cycler: this ensures that no other operator accidentally modifies or erases his programme, and also keeps his modification ideas confidential, when needed.
BitBox also provided an external interface system to allow a PC to remotely control the programmes used on multiple cyclers, for large-scale test work.
The Touchgene is a significant product advance in biotechnology research equipment, using the best of electronics and software expertise.
