Biomed test equipment becomes portable, less pricey

The device costs $1,995. As with TriMedx, the company says one of the determiners of the price was to keep it low enough so a shop could buy one device for every biomed.

Of course, portable devices are prone to a hazard endemic to their kind—dropping. Pump analyzers like FlowTrax are especially vulnerable, as they contain glassware used to sense fluid movement. But Alkire says the FlowTrax was built with the occasional small fall in mind, and he drop tested it 53 times from a height of 3 feet without any harm. He says he actually got a bit obsessed about this, and stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning making a video of the test. Naturally, he then set the video to Beethoven’s 5th symphony. “We need to put it on YouTube,” he says.
