Abstract: A monitoring device and system are provided for monitoring normal sequence of an initiation. The device includes at least one sensor in a region of an explosive charge and/or in a region of at least one ignition device for the explosive charge of the munitions system, and also a control device for evaluating output signals of the sensor with the control device connected to at least one ignition device in a controlling manner on a basis of the evaluation. At least one sensor is arranged at an output of a first ignition device for subdetonative initiation of the explosive charge. The control device is connected to a further ignition device and enables or inhibits it on a basis of a signal supplied by the sensor and assessed in the control device, and at least one sensor is designed for sensing pressure, temperature, light, electrical current or changing of mechanical states.

Abstract: The ignition device according to the present disclosure implements in a reliable manner a one-time transient switching process for high voltages (>1.5 kV) and high currents (>3 kA) in combination with a minimal space requirement, maximum environmental durability and at the same time low cost expenditure by integrating the essential components on a flexible printed circuit system.

Abstract: A housing for a laboratory instrument is disclosed. The laboratory instrument comprises a base plate, wherein a holder configured to hold at least one consumable or a rack comprising at least one consumable is mounted onto said base plate, wherein the housing comprises a frame, wherein the frame is configured to support the base plate. Further, a laboratory instrument and a method for assembling a laboratory instrument are disclosed.
