Controls temperature of perfusion solutions. A small heating/cooling element is designed to mount next to your sample to provide fast temperature changes by streaming the solution directly onto the sample (mounting hardware is not included). Set temperature either manually, using your data acquisition interface, or using programmable controller BTC-2-100/TC2-80-150 to generate ramps, for example. Optimized for patch clamp applications: no electrical noise. Click on image to enlarge.

Below is an example of fast temperature change inside a petri dish. Experimental conditions: TC-RD system was set at 0°C; the petri dish was set at 30°C using another TC-1 controller and TC-E35 heating stage; two flow control CFPS-1U66 units were used - one for solution suction from the dish, through PDI insert inside the dish; and another CFPS-1U66 to cool heat sink of TC-RD unit; the third CFPS-1U unit was used to perfuse the dish; a slow temperature sensor was used to simulate temperature change in the whole dish; the actual temperature change in the point of solution application is much faster.
