Tellurex

BioMedical Thermoelectric

Tellurex know-how may be leveraged across a broad array of biomedical thermoelectric devices, instruments and programs.

The creation of advanced thermoelectric materials and manufacturing processes opens up new fields of biomedical research and product development. Thermoelectric heating and cooling has long been a critical design feature of astronaut suits. Today, with temperature stabilization or modulation in precise 0.1°C increments, Tellurex technology can support cool suits for tank and racecar drivers and core body cooling for medical applications. We can advance your work in extreme environmental suit design, in cooling infants with high temperatures, and in aiding the prevention of hair loss during chemotherapy. The precision of our modules has also proven valuable for blood analyzers and other processes where precise and stable temperature control is critical.

Other applications include precise heating and cooling of metabolic samples, including thermocycling, acoustic relief during medical studies, and the maintenance of stable, reliable humidity-controlled environments.

Tellurex know-how may also be leveraged to develop the thermoelectric potential of microfabrication and miniaturization of thermoelectric generators for powering autonomous wireless sensors in and around the human body.

Tellurex has long experience with thermoelectric air-to-air temperature exchangers and humidity and moisture management in critical testing environments. We can help you meet the challenge of cooling, heating or drying electrical enclosures and temperature controlled cabinets that contain metabolic samples that cannot be thermally managed by direct contact to a hot or cold plate. Other problems we can assist in solving may be irregularly shaped space or special requirements of a program that inhibit direct contact or pose a challenge to heat or cool one side of the sample.
