緊湊型移動式冷鏈溫度監測系統的快速開發

　　精確的溫度測量是在移動的應用范圍從醫療設備到工業、醫學的一個基本特征，醫藥冷鏈監測。對于這些應用程序，開發人員面臨的挑戰是設計解決方案，提供高精確度和可靠性，以最小的功耗、最小的可能占用率和最低的成本。

　　用典型的溫度傳感器設計，開發人員很難建立能夠滿足所有這些設計要求的信號鏈。然而，來自AMS的單芯片傳感器提供了一個集成的解決方案，能夠以最小的足跡在低功耗下提供高精度。

　　臨界溫度傳感應用：冷鏈監測

　　精確的溫度測量對于廣泛的應用是至關重要的，即使是微小的溫度變化也會影響性能。機械系統工作溫度的意外偏差經常警告機械問題。化學反應速率隨著溫度的升高而增加，這就要求密切監測敏感化學和生化過程中的溫度。甚至有專門的添加劑使用，能迅速降解的和不可逆的bioreactive材料暴露在他們的推薦范圍之外的溫度。敏感藥品的安全遞送依賴于整個供應鏈的定期溫度測量——一個稱為冷鏈監控的過程。

　　Among bioactive materials， vaccines are particularly sensitive to temperature. The World Health Organization notes that vaccines need to be stored between +2°C and +8°C， and any deviation outside of this range generally leads to loss of potency of the vaccine ［ref 1］。 Yet， according to the US Centers for Disease Control， occurrences of improper storage and handling continue to occur each year. Worse， a degraded vaccine cannot be detected through normal clinical methods. The result is not only financial loss due to wasted vaccine， but also the need to revaccinate affected individuals who received the compromised vaccine – a process that can damage public confidence in vaccine and health providers ［ref 2］.
