ENGINEERED APPLICATIONS: Instrumentation Applications | Large Applications | Options & Custom | Services & Consulting | ROI Tool | Find Your Instrument

Franek Technologies has a long history of providing unique solutions for our OEM clients and large laboratories. Our instrumentation experience dates back to 1987 when we first consulted for Baxter Healthcare’s Diagnostics Group and their clinical chemistry business unit.

Our initial custom engineering included working with Baxter’s Paramax Systems Division’s R&D and Field Service Engineering teams, as well as their International Marketing Department, for their global launch of the Paramax Clinical Chemistry Analyzer. The FTI custom development work and design specification for a purpose built application, for Baxter’s Paramax analyzer, resulted in over 1800 Paramax instrumentation placements worldwide. The FTI Cat III-3 LPS design from the initial application development work also substantially reduced Baxter’s field service calls and warranty expenses.

Franek Technologies was also invited to consult with Applied Biosystems (ABI) and the Celera Genomics laboratory installations in Rockville, MD and Foster City, CA. Celera expressed a desire to minimize laboratory infrastructure while adding additional PCR, Thermal Cycler and DNA Sequencing instrumentation systems within their laboratories. Based upon FTI’s engineering recommendations and the unique features that were added to the FTI LPS devices in this installation, Celera was able to successfully increase their laboratory instrumentation placements up to 320 simultaneous instrumentation systems in their Rockville facility, while minimizing laboratory and project infrastructure.

The net result for Celera was their ability to successfully develop the genome database, while maintaining peak operational effectiveness with a minimal fixed asset base in their laboratories. In addition to reducing infrastructure, Celera and ABI realized substantial savings in operating and warranty expenses, as well as reducing overall field service costs for ABI.

Franek Technologies’ experience in working with our OEM client’s engineers and marketing groups has resulted in developing the specific and purpose built certified Cat III-3 you will find in the “Find Your Instrument” application database on this site. These designs are the result of understanding the instrumentation system and the uniqueness of the laboratory applications. Our consulting engineers have numerous years of instrumentation development and power application experience and we look forward to speaking with you regarding your specific requirements.

Our relationship with the OEM’s Design, Development and Field Service Engineering teams has resulted in the certified designs we offer for their instrumentation. When a FTI Cat III-3 LPS power product is recommended to you by your instrumentation manufacturer’s FSE, you can rest assured that this is the best protection systems you can buy.
