A common method of repairing a broken trace is to solder on a jumper, which is basically a wire bypass around the broken trace. This can be time-consuming and visually unappealing. Chemtronics offers CircuitWorks Conductive Pens which contain...

Many times simple changes can yield huge results, today we'll review how we helped a catheter manufacturer reduce contamination in their manufacturing process by 90%. They achieved this result without overhauling their entire process, they...

Surgical equipment, especially those involved in neurology, interacts with the most sensitive parts of our bodies. The brain and spinal column are closed environments, without the natural ability to cleanse themselves of impurities and intrusions...

Quietly, over many decades, our aging bodies have undergone a revolution. Although we’ve not evolved, our science and technology have slowly transformed to assist our aging bodies. It was not so long ago that a broken hip consigned the...

Patient monitors provide real-time monitoring of patient vital signs and often include warning systems when values deviate from set parameters, indicating a patient has taken a turn for the worse. A patient monitor can track the heart rhythm...

Step 1: Clean PCBA To ensure proper adhesion and reduce the potential for defects such as bubbles, clean the PCBA surface. If cleaning with an aerosol flux remover, hold the PCBA at a 45° angle or greater to allow the solvent to flow...
