Components for analytical scientific & medical equipment
There are numerous benefits to use ceramics in the field of scientific and medical instrumentation.
Advanced ceramics resist to severe environments, demonstrate excellent properties of electrical insulation, low thermal expansion, dimension stability at extreme temperatures and high corrosion resistance.
Also, they are clean materials in view of their high purity levels, no open porosities and biomedical inertness.
In addition to bare ceramic products, Microcertec can also offer metallized ceramics and ceramic-to-metal brazed assemblies that are hermetic in vacuum and ultra-high vacuum - UHV.
MORE INFORMATION
In the analytical scentific and medical equipment industry, ceramic components are primarily used in analyzing, diagnosis, vision and therapy systems :
- mass spectrometers
- MNR spectrometers
- gas analyzers
- particle accelerators
- electronic microscopes
- imaging equipment
- blood analyzers
- neurosurgery instruments
- endoscopes
Precision grinding allows to achieve extremely tight dimensional tolerances and very diverse geometries. It is also possible to achieve fine surface finishes and clean the parts at high temperature in order to burn out organic residuals at final step of manufacturing. As a result, Microcertec offer the following ceramics products :
- high-voltage insulators
- support rings for quadropoles, hexapoles
- heat sinks
- heat insulators
- electrode carriers
- shear valves
- pistons
- 3D interconnect devices - CI3D
- high-voltage hermetic ceramic to metal feedthroughs
- brazed ceramic filament supports
- hermetic ceramic to metal assemblies
We primarily use the following materials to manufacture the here above products :
- high-purity alumina - 94 to 99.8 % (aluminium oxide)
- aluminium nitride (AlN)
- Macor®
- boron nitride (Bn)
- silica, quartz
- MgO & Y-TZP zirconia (zirconium oxide)
