IBI Celsius S3 Freeze-Thaw System Bioscience Design and Production Build SMP Tech, Inc. designed and built the production version of the Celsius S3 Freeze-Thaw System for Integrated Biosystems, Inc. The Celsius S3 Freeze-Thaw System models a 100 L production system with a minimal amount of product. The Celsius S3 is specially designed for development studies, scale-up and scale-down processes and stability studies.

Life Measurements Peapod Medical Industrial Design and Mechanical Packaging SMP Tech, Inc. completed the industrial design and packaging of the PEA POD® Infant Body Composition System system for Life Measurements, Inc. The enclosure system is composed of a combination of sheet metal and pressure formed parts. The Peapod provides vital information for optimal infant growth and nutrition for infants. The system uses air displacement plethysmography to assess body composition in infants. The accurate assessment of infant body fat and fat free mass provides important data to assist in addressing several infant situations, including optimizing individual nutritional and pharmacological requirements.

Diacor Macular Degeneration Instrument Collimator System This system was developed for use with the Varian Medical Clinac Linear Accelerator to treat Macular Degeneration, the age-related loss of vision. The collimator system for the Macular Irradiator System include an Optics/Collimator that is attached to the Varian's Clinac Linear Accelerator. The Collimator assembly provides a small elliptical beam for radiation treatment of the eye. The system includes two video cameras to provide precision alignment to the patient's eye.

Diacor Macular Degeneration Cart Medical Computer System The system shown was developed for use with the Varian Medical Clinac Linear Accelerator with to treat Macular Degeneration the age-related loss of vision. The computer system includes the vision system and safety interlock system. It is packaged on a Mobil cart to expedited it's use inside or outside the treatment room.

Applied Biosystems Prism 3700 Analyzer Bioscience DNA Design and Manufacture SMP Tech, Inc. designed and built the Microtiter Plate Deck for the new ABI Prism 3700 DNA capillary electrophoresis analyzer. The Plate Deck is an assembly in the instrument used by Celera to sequence and assemble the human genome in just nine months.

Grace-Vydac 4-Inch Column MultiPacker Bioscience Redesign and Build The 101mm (4-inch) MultiPacker Instrument provides the ultimate solution for in-house column packing. The MultiPacker allows users to pack and unpack 101mm Spring Columns quickly and conveniently. Because it employs hydraulic and pneumatic packing mechanisms, the 101mm MultiPacker uses no electrical power, making it safe for work with any type of solvent and a perfect solution for hazardous environments. The instrument is easy to use, requires very little training to operate, and is virtually maintenance-free. The MultiPacker/Spring Column concept is extremely versatile because the packing system is physically separated from the column and its internal axial compression subsystem. The unpacking and the cleaning processes are also highly simplified. The column bore and piston are easily accessible for cleaning when the column is unpacked, making the process simple, fast and efficient.
