Temperature Control > 2-Channel Programmable Temperature Controller

Programmable 2-Channel Bipolar Precision High Stability Temperature Controller TC2-80-150/BTC-2-100, Low Electrical Noise

Can be used with Temperature controlled microscope stages. Provides higher stability required for some sensitive applications, nano/piezo positioning, confocal or AFM  imaging for example. Flexible controls for stable operation and easy to use through the touch-screen. Up to four steps (or ramps) can be programmed (8 steps if only one channel is used).
  • No drift due to high stability, 0.01°C.
  • No vibrations during imaging and recording - no internal fan
  • Plastic-encapsulated external probes: no metal ions leakage into solutions
  • Automatic cooling (for BTC-2-100)
  • Self-tuning, no adjustments are required
  • Multiple temperature sensors to choose for feedback, STAGE and BATH
  • Built-in overheating protection
  • Inputs for programmed temperature changes
  • Analog and Digital Outputs to monitor and SET temperature, RS232 port
  • Digital interface for software control
  • No electrical noise - suitable for electrophysiology
Can be used with objective heaters and with perfusion systems: most heating stages work as inline solution pre-heaters. Sample publications.
