LAUDA is pleased to congratulate Dr. Ulf Reinhardt on his ten-year work anniversary. As Managing Director of the subsidiary LAUDA Scientific, which was only founded in 2015, Dr. Reinhardt has made a significant contribution to the development of the measuring devices since joining the company on January 1, 2014 and has had a lasting impact on their visibility on the market.

Dr. Gunther Wobser, President & CEO of LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG, recalled their first meeting during a factory tour in the region in May 2011 and their first clash in a tennis match in the middle of July 2011 in his entertaining address. “A decade of service at management level is a special occasion, on which I offer my personal congratulations. Together with your dedicated team, you have established LAUDA Scientific on the market and given the company a face, personality and visibility“, said Dr. Wobser. He highlighted the numerous milestones that Dr. Reinhardt has achieved - from a new brand image with its own corporate design to an independent trade fair stand and further development in the areas of production and marketing. “You combine the best of both worlds, as you embody key functions covering all aspects of scientific methodology, development and sales and link them seamlessly with the structures of LAUDA as the parent company”, Dr. Wobser continued.

Dr. Reinhardt not only contributes the expertise gained from his chemistry studies and doctorate at Hamburg University but also his many years of experience as a sales manager, team leader for research & development and former managing director of a manufacturer for laboratory analytics and laboratory measurement instrumentation. This combination of scientific background and entrepreneurial vision characterizes LAUDA Scientific, where Dr. Reinhardt plays an important role as an absolute professional and visionary leader.

In his speech of thanks, Dr. Reinhardt looked back on the beginning of his time at LAUDA in 2014, when he not only registered the new company but concentrated on raising the profile of both the brand and the products of LAUDA Scientific with an inquisitive mind and great perseverance. “With an agile approach – from fresh marketing ideas to the introduction of product webinars – and a dynamic mindset in the team, we have been able to achieve a great deal in recent years and raise our profile. The current market situation remains challenging, but we are optimistic about the future thanks to the high level of incoming orders“, said Dr. Reinhardt. He thanked his entire team for their efforts and said that he was eagerly looking forward to the next ten years.

He was congratulated by the LAUDA management team and all the employees of LAUDA Scientific during a special ceremony. The President and CEO, Dr. Gunther Wobser, presented Dr. Ulf Reinhardt with the LAUDA certificate of honor as well as a certificate of honor of behalf of the Heilbronn-Franken Chamber of Industry and Commerce in recognition of his ten-year work anniversary at LAUDA Scientific and his commitment to the regional economy.

LAUDA, the world market leader in constant temperature equipment, presents its latest product line – the Ultratemp process thermostats. They have been tailored to meet the high demands of biotechnological, biopharmaceutical and industrial applications.

High performance for a wide range of requirements

With heating and cooling outputs of 25 kW, 35 kW or 50 kW, the Ultratemp devices are designed to quickly heat up or cool down large volumes. This is particularly useful for typical biotechnological, biopharmaceutical and other industrial applications with a wide range of temperature and performance requirements.

Application-optimized equipment for precise results

The Ultratemp thermostats can precisely control external consuming units within a range of -5 °C to 60 °C with a high temperature stability of ±0.5 K, which enables accurate temperature control in the application. The water-cooled refrigeration technology minimizes heat discharge to the environment, and the use of non-flammable media such as water or water-glycol guarantees easy handling and low running costs.

Robust, easy to clean and intuitive to use

The new Ultratemp process thermostats combine robustness with simple operation. Designed with protection level IP 54 as standard, they are protected against splash water and are easy to clean, thanks to the high-quality stainless steel housing. They can be operated with non-flammable temperature control media. The device is operated via function buttons and a clear LCD, while the integrated Ethernet interface allows remote monitoring and control via a control station or PC. Furthermore, external components such as sensors (e.g. a Pt100 temperature probe) or signal transmitters can be connected.

Suitable for use worldwide thanks to bi-frequency power supply

The bi-frequency power supply (400 V; 3/PE; 50 Hz & 460 V; 3/PE; 60 Hz) means that the Ultratemp process thermostats are equipped for worldwide use. In addition, they are available in an optimized design exclusively for 50 Hz. All variants can be operated within an ambient temperature range of -15 °C to 50 °C.

The Ultratemp process thermostats extend the LAUDA product range and provide optimum solutions for biotechnological applications with reactor volumes of up to 5,000 liters. The devices have been specially designed to meet the requirements of the biopharmaceutical industry and its processes. As a result, they provide e.g. the requisite high heating and cooling capacities for long process times with constant temperatures of 37 °C and can subsequently cool down the reactor content very quickly.

With the launch of the cutting-edge Ultratemp process thermostats, LAUDA has significantly enhanced its range of products and confirmed its commitment to innovative temperature control solutions which drive forward productivity and efficiency in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and industry worldwide.
