High stability Precision Temperature Controller TC-1-100s

A simplified  controller suitable for application where multiple temperature probes are not required: objective heaters, syringe heaters, heated glass plates, and other simple configurations (including custom heating elements). Can be used with Temperature controlled microscope stages, heated only. Easy to use and flexible self-adjusting controls for stable operation. Connection to an optional external probe (bath) is available. Stores two settings in its memory for different sample sizes/heating elements (different size objectives, for example), which can also be used to generate fast temperature steps.
  • No electrical noise
  • Built-in dual overheating protection, no temperature overshoot
  • No vibrations during imaging and recording - no internal fan
  • Standby mode
Most heating stages work as inline solution pre-heaters. Can be used with flow control and perfusion systems. An optional external probe might be needed to monitor temperature inside the samples, Petri dishes for example. Includes the connecting cable. Output is 12V/24V, which is suitable for most small microscope stage warmers, heating elements and objective heaters. Higher power outputs are available upon request (up to 35V).

The picture below demonstrates high temperature stability provided by TC-1-100s controller. This is a temperature recording from TC-E35 35mm aperture heater for CSC chambers and Petri dishes. Most of the data points are between 0.01°C deviation from 30°C set level. The cursor is placed at 29.99°C level. The data points were obtained every second.
