Disposable sensors used in tasks such as blood-glucose monitoring and EKGs, uses Parlex's Polymer Thick Film (PTF) technology. These products are easily designed and manufactured for cost-effectiveness and fast turn-around. PTF increases component reliability because they weigh less and distribute heat better. Components are mounted using Parlex Polysolder Adhesive that reduces thermal stress versus traditional SnPb flow. PTF uses silver and carbon inks for conduction, making it environmentally friendly versus traditional copper etching.
