Browse product sections by selecting category name above Order online Download PDF catalog Product news - recently upgraded items: 0.01°C stability 1.1 mm thickness fused quartz heater (warmer), $995 For working in high temperature ranges and in the UV or near infrared range of illumination, where regular glass cannot be used (because it is not transparent in these wavelength ranges of illumination and can crack at higher temperatures). The fused quartz heater has 75x50mm flat surface with 70x45mm window. TC-1-100s-24V high stability precision 1-channel temperature controller stores two settings for different size samples or two different temperatures (high range up to 150°C). This feature can be also used to generate fast temperature steps. 0.01°C stability objective heater (warmer), $395 Re-designed, stronger and even easier to mount flexible objective heater fits any microscope objective, with TC-1-100s high stability precision 1-channel temperature controller that stores two settings for different size objectives or two different temperatures. Miniature incubators - CO2, hypoxia (O2) and temperature controlled microscope stages Extended variety of heated mini-incubators for long term time lapse imaging of live cell samples to fit on any microscope. Options for any size Petri dishes, slides, coverslips and custom fluidics devices are available. Improved CO2 and hypoxia controller. Upgraded easy to use high stability precision 2-channel temperature controller TC-1-100i with rs232 port (can be used with USB adapter). Programmable dosing and flow control pumps New computerized miniature peristalitic pumps and multi-channel automated pumps can be programmed as precision dosing units or as injectors with precise timing protocol (including continuous loops). The units can be also controlled using digital and analog signals, manual remote, or through a computer rs232 port. Programmable solution perfusion/injectors/spritzers with precision timers Complete 8/16-channel systems based on a computerized valve controllers with optional built-in pressure pumps. Front touch display allows to program up to 16 step sequences (32 step if automatic "wash" is used), including continuous loops. This is an ideal instrument to generate automated dose-response curves or any other protocols that require automatic liquid handling. The systems can be also controlled using digital and analog signals, manual remote, or through a computer rs232 port. Small cooling/heating stage to fit any mechanical or motorized microscope New temperature controlled 128x86mm stage is the size of a standard multi-well plate and can be used to cool or heat samples up to 3x1in. Connects to upgraded BTC-1-100/BTC-2-100 1-channel or 2-channel temperature controller with rs232 interface. Can be also used with our high stability precision programmable temperature controller that can generate temperature complex cycles. Objective cooling We can also make an objective cooler to fit any microscope objective, according to drawings provided. The objective cooler/heater can be used with either 1-channel or 2-channel temperature controller. Precision high stability pressure controller Our new PC-R15/10 pressure controller has stability better than 0.5mmHg, which can be used to provide smooth liquid flow in sensitive microfluidics applications. In combination with PC-16 programmable 16-channel valve controller with precision timers, the customers are now able to build flexible automated liquid delivery and perfusion setups with precise flow control. Both pressure and valves controllers, including programmable spritzers have rs232 port for computer control. Custom design and manufacturing We can also produce custom computerized and mechanical items to meet your needs and requirements.
