    How CERN First Started Using LIB Environmental Test Chambers

    In 2018, a CERN physicist contacted LIB Industry to find a stable climatic testing solution for sensitive electronic components.

    After evaluating requirements such as:

    • Temperature range

    • Sample size

    • Long-term stability requirements

    CERN selected the TH-100C temperature and humidity chamber.

    This unit was used for controlled environmental simulation to ensure electronic reliability under fluctuating climatic conditions.


    Proven Stability in Real Laboratory Operation

    The TH-100C delivered consistent performance in daily testing, meeting CERN’s strict validation standards for research equipment.

    Following successful operation, the same model was recommended to another researcher at the University of Kansas, who later selected the T-50 benchtop temperature humidity chamber for academic electronics testing.

    This demonstrates how LIB systems are used across:

    • High-energy physics laboratories

    • University research environments

    • Electronics validation applications


    Continued Collaboration and System Upgrade at CERN

    controlled environment chamber In 2019, LIB Industry’s management team visited CERN headquarters for technical discussions on environmental simulation systems used in advanced research applications.

    Later in 2023, CERN placed another order for the T-150A temperature cycling chamber, used for electronic board validation in particle physics experiments.

    Key operating parameters:

    • Temperature range: -20°C to +150°C

    • Application: electronic PCB reliability testing

    • Purpose: thermal cycling simulation under extreme conditions

    This repeat purchase reflects CERN’s long-term confidence in LIB Industry equipment stability and performance consistency.
