MAASTRICHT INSTRUMENTS

The Players

Maastricht Instruments is a high-tech company that is affiliated with Maastricht University Medical Center. It develops innovative technological solutions for medical and life science applications for customers worldwide. One of the most recent innovations is the Omnical Indirect Calorimeter for metabolic research into the energy use of athletes and diabetes patients, so that better insight can be offered into how factors such as nutrition and exercise help to optimise physical performance. An advanced respiration chamber helps to create circumstances that allow this instrument to function effectively.

The Challenge

Maastricht Instruments needed an advanced respiration chamber to ensure that the Omnical Indirect Calorimeter performs effectively, so that researchers at universities, medical centres and sports science centres around the world can perform very accurate measurements that lead to detailed results and conclusions.

The Solution

Automated Logic supplied the WebCTRL® system including OptiFlex™ controls, which Risto Regeltechniek used to achieve the required climatological conditions, such as correct temperature and humidity. An extra advantage was our global service and long-term support that accompanies the WebCTRL system.
