Temperature controller for brain slice chambers and heaters.
FEATURES
High output power for rapid heating
Compatible with our range of heating devices
Emperature control below ambient with optional Peltier Controller (PC01)
Proportional Temperature Controller (PTC03) with low noise performance
The PTC03 is a proportional temperature control unit for use in conjunction with our brain slice chambers, perfusion solution heaters and an increasing range of other systems currently under development. A low voltage direct current output with low noise characteristics is used to power heating elements together with a sensor for feedback proportional control. The required temperature is set using the front control panel. When the display selector is set to control the display reads the temperature of the control sensor. Provision is also made to display the temperature from a monitor sensor if this is being used. At a setting of 40 degrees, with an ambient of 20 degrees centigrade full control is reached within 10 minutes when used with our submerged and interface mode slice chambers. The set temperature must exceed ambient by at least 2 degrees centigrade. Set temperatures are not lost in the event of a power loss: unit can be left to operate from day to day without having to set temperature each time
