Accurate and precise temperature control is important for cell growth in sample storage compartments. Using compact thermoelectric cooler assemblies instead of compressor-based thermal management solutions provide a more efficient and cost-effective option. In addition, new government restrictions of traditional and natural refrigerants central to compressor-based systems make thermoelectrics a more advantageous solution for temperature stabilization in incubators.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular diagnostics. DNA is used as a template for replication. PCRs make it is possible to amplify a single copy of DNA and generate several million copies. The primary PCR method uses a thermal cycling technique, which rapidly heats and cools the DNA sample to a defined series of temperature steps. 

Temperature stability is vital in medical/clinical diagnostic equipment such as reagent and centrifuge equipment. These machines require a light weight cooling solution with a compact form factor. Thermoelectric coolers used in thermoelectric cooler assemblies offer advanced temperature control in a small, lightweight package, while increasing reliability and lowering maintenance cost. Compared to compressor-based systems, refrigerant-free thermoelectric cooler assemblies deliver a more eco-friendly solution for temperature control of reagents.

Incubators used in hospitals and laboratories to grow and maintain cell cultures require precise temperature control. Due to the space constraints in incubators, thermal solutions must have a compact form factor. Incubator manufacturers also face challenges related to airflow, moisture, dust and ease of cleaning. Modern compressor-based refrigeration systems meet the sample storage chamber design requirements mentioned above.

Industrial scanning equipment like X-ray machines are used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from non-destructive evaluation looking for manufacturing defects and contaminants to scanning trucks or baggage to ensure safety and security. 

Temperature stability is vital in medical diagnostic equipment such as reagent and centrifuge equipment. Even small fluctuations in the operating temperature of these machines can significantly affect the test results. In addition, small portable medical diagnostic machines are growing in popularity for point of care (POC) and lab on chip (LOC) testing devices. These machines require cooling solutions with a compact form factor and low weight.
