| Custom Instrumentation from Quantum Northwest Our conceptual design team consists of three Ph.D.-level scientists, Drs. Enoch W. Small, Jeanne Rudzki Small and Louis J. Libertini, with experience developing and using a wide variety of biophysical instrumentation. Our team has strong knowledge of optical phenomena, particularly involving polarization, fluorescence, photoacoustics and lasers. Steve Hart, Design Engineer, heads our mechanical design team. All design is done using solid modeling with SolidWorks. Instrumentation is designed for manufacturability. Electronic design is performed by Michael Abrain, Electronics Technician, an expert in temperature control and in the use of embedded microcontrollers for electronic interfacing with mechanical devices. Michael designs and lays out the circuitry, directs electronic fabrication and generates the required firmware. Electronics include the use of up-to-date components and technologies, such as communications through Bluetooth networks, for example. Our fabrication team is headed by Stephen Turpin, General Manager. Some machining is done in house, but Stephen has a extensive network of vendors that he can depend on for most machining, metal finishing, sheet metal work, prototype and injection molding, and other needed functions. If you have a device you would like to have built, large or small, we will be pleased to provide a quotation. Your costs will be low because we have an experienced team already in place, and pre-existing solutions to many optical, mechanical, and electrical problems. |
