Chilling concept from biocision.
Posted on September 1st, 2010

Burns provides various sensors to monitor temperature-sensitive biologics, vaccines, and multitudes of other BioPharma substances.  Discovered in an article posted on Biotechdaily biotechdaily logo- an interesting device developed by BioCision that provides controlled freezing or thawing profiles and maintains constant temperature of vials and cryotubes.  Check out the Video-Mid pageCheck out the “cool” and funky video-Click on the coolcell video- mid-page..

Another innovation in temperature measurement and control in support of the critically important BioTech processes.

Underwater RTD - ECO relevent
Posted on August 16th, 2010

It’s not too often you can say you proud to have something laying on the bottom of the lake or river - but we are.  The Burns Underwater RTD is helping several companies, that release water (”clean” water) back into the environment, monitor the effluent temperature.

Recently I discovered a BLOG posting (DailyCamera.com) where there was a debate of the importance of monitoring this process.  Check it out: Boulder’s wastewater too hot for new Colorado rules - Boulder Daily Camera

It just seems to make sense to pay attention to the influence on the eco system. 

What do you think?

ASME-BPE in Exciting Montreal
Posted on June 16th, 2010

The committee members are in Montreal CA writing, voting, discussing and planning; all driving toward the release of the 2012 BPE standard.  This will be the first time that a section on Process Instrumentation (PI) will be included. 

Burns, in professional collaboration with good folks from Weed (Ultra), Anderson Instruments, Burkert and Rosemount, have been diligently working on the Temperature Sensor portion of the PI section of the standard.  We all appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the 2012 BPE Standard.

Montreal is a buzz with activity.  Not only are the BPE meetings in session, but also the ASME Bioprocess Seminars and Exhibition and a city wide music event, “Les Franco Folies De Montreal”The Folies in Montreal

6 band shells, a different local group every hour, great music - all in French! and huge crowds.View from my Hotel window

Exciting times in Montreal.  Also toss in the MANIC excitement of the World Cup and this place is hopping.
