Heat is generated directly on the underside of the culture dish, and the intelligent feedback controller maintains and displays real-time temperature from ambient to 50 C. A learning function is included to adjust current to maximize stability. The controller features a protection circuit with alarm, an internal temperature reference and user adjustable calibration. Unique culture dishes with opaque sides eliminate unwanted ambient light background for fluorescence imaging. The D TC4 can be used with either an inverted or upright microscope, and with transmitted, reflected or fluorescent light. The user may require continuous perfusion of the tissue from up to two sources.
Video requires special covers to control fluid surface effects.
Immersion objectives, if needed, would be a heat sink, so an objective warmer system is available to bring the objectives to physiological temperature. Call to discuss accessories needed for a given application. Quixell TM Cell transfer application Using the D TC4 on the source side of the Quixell TM Cell Transfer System keeps cells at 37 C until transfer. The Quixell Incubator package includes the D TC4 controller, the Quixell Adaptor Plate, and 20 standard D T dishes. Tissue Slice Adapter is designed to allow observation of a tissue slice, for example, a hippocampal brain slice, in the D TC4 system.
