IVD Analyzer Battery Solutions
Custom lithium battery packs engineered for stable voltage, predictable runtime and safe integration in portable and benchtop in-vitro diagnostic equipment.
Applications
Battery Systems for Different IVD Platforms
Battery requirements change with sample throughput, portability, peak current, standby time and backup-power strategy. We tailor the electrical and mechanical design to the device rather than forcing a standard pack into the enclosure.
Portable Blood Analyzers
Compact packs for mobile testing, rapid startup and consistent measurement during field or bedside use.
POCT Equipment
Lightweight battery systems for decentralized testing in clinics, ambulances and temporary care settings.
Molecular Diagnostics
Stable power for thermal cycling, optical detection, sample handling and protected data processing.
Benchtop IVD Analyzers
Integrated backup power that supports controlled shutdown, workflow continuity and data protection.
Engineering Priorities
Designed Around Accuracy, Safety and Uptime
Power instability can interrupt tests, corrupt data or trigger unexpected shutdowns. Our engineering process evaluates the complete operating profile, including startup, transient loads, charging and low-state-of-charge behavior.
- Cell selection based on runtime, peak current and enclosure limits
- BMS and PCM design with validated protection thresholds
- Thermal analysis inside the final analyzer enclosure
- Communication options including SMBus, I2C, UART, CAN and custom protocols
- Mechanical protection against liquid ingress, vibration and service damage
Example Platform
5S2P NMC Battery Configuration
| Design item | Example value |
|---|---|
| Configuration | 5S2P |
| Nominal voltage | 18.5V |
| Maximum charge voltage | 21.0V |
| Example capacity | 5400mAh using 2700mAh cells |
| Typical chemistry | NMC lithium-ion |
| Protection | Overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, short circuit and temperature |
Values are illustrative. Final voltage, capacity, cutoff thresholds and operating limits depend on the selected cells and analyzer requirements.
Development Process
From Device Requirements to Validated Battery Pack
Quality and Compliance
Correctly Assign Standards Across the Battery and Device
Battery standards, transportation requirements, medical-device safety and quality-system controls serve different purposes. We support documentation and validation without presenting device-level standards as battery certifications.
What Manufacturers Should Validate
- Normal-use and single-fault behavior
- Battery runtime and controlled shutdown
- Charging under analyzer operating loads
- Cell traceability and production records
- Transport documentation and labeling
