In the world of life sciences and advanced research, the stability of every variable is important. A compelling case study from our partner, Clippard, highlights the critical role that precision pressure control plays in ensuring the reliability and accuracy of high-stakes applications like DNA mapping. The article details a challenge faced by an engineering team whose DNA-mapping system was susceptible to distorted data and unreliable results due to even the slightest pressure fluctuations in fluid flow. Standard pressure controllers were not sufficient, leading to the use of a more complex and flawed setup with multiple components to compensate for the lack of precision.

The solution came with the implementation of Clippard’s Cordis CPC electronic pressure controllers. These units, utilizing a fast-reacting sensor and proportional valve technology in a closed-loop system, provided the consistent flow control necessary for the application. With Cordis controllers, the team was able to maintain pressure within thousandths of a psi, ensuring a smooth and repeatable flow. This upgrade not only improved the quality of their work but also simplified their system, allowing the engineers to focus on their core scientific tasks rather than on mitigating equipment limitations. For any application where consistency is key, this case study underscores the fundamental importance of precise pressure control for achieving successful outcomes.
