Laboratory Automation & Instrumentation Power Protection Systems Case Study Celera Genomics
Celera’s Benefits Lower Operating Cost Increased Productivity Happier Investigators/Managers/Staff Higher Revenue & Investor Potential
The Lab and OperatingEnvironment Key challenges and issues: • Profitability in the laboratory and automation environments • On time delivery of reportable results • Overall customer satisfaction • Internal and external
The Lab and OperatingEnvironment Key issues and distracters: • Instrumentation performance • Human Genome race • Availability and reliability • Environmental conditions
The Laboratory Key issues - Environmental: • Quality of power from the utility • Other equipment sharing the line • Centrifuges • Auto loaders / robotics • Pumps and heaters • Bar code readers (lasers) • Other PCR-DNA Sequencing Instrumentation
The Laboratory Quality of power directly from the utility: Desired waveform
The Laboratory The reality of laboratory and production power: Harmonic distortion and frequency variation waveform is typical
The Lab and OperatingEnvironment Key issues - Environmental: • Challenges for a Laboratory Productivity-Protection System (LPS) • Each application must be qualified • Peak loads • Other instrumentation line interference (transient) • Inrush currents and load (Power) factors • Power connection and distribution • Waveform (Volts, Hz, harmonic distortion, et al)
