University of St Andrews

Published scientific research

Used in peer-reviewed explosives-detection research

A ThermoMart PID-SSR-USB was used to read and record temperature in peer-reviewed explosives-detection research.

University of St Andrews researchers used the controller in a custom sensor chamber studying the thermal control of fluorescent materials for trace explosive-vapour detection.
