NBD Cell Micro Controls Temperature Controller TC2 bip

NBD TC2 Bip Temperature Controller

The NBD TC2 Bip Temperature Controller by Cell MicroControls is a sophisticated, dual-channel device engineered for precise temperature regulation in laboratory environments. It is particularly suited for applications such as patch clamping and microscopy, where low noise and high accuracy are essential.

Key Features

• Dual-Channel Control: Offers two independent channels, with an optional third channel upgrade, allowing simultaneous management of multiple heating or cooling elements.
• Bipolar Operation: Capable of both heating and cooling, accommodating a variety of experimental requirements.
• Flexible Output: Delivers up to 2.5 Amps and 20 Watts per channel, compatible with devices like 12V, 2A Peltier elements.
• Temperature Range: Supports a reference temperature range from 0°C to 50°C, extendable beyond 60°C for specialized studies.
• Low Noise Design: Operates on DC or battery power to minimize electrical interference, crucial for sensitive electrophysiological recordings.
• Rapid Temperature Changes: Achieves heating rates exceeding 0.5°C per second, ensuring swift response to experimental needs.
• External Input: Allows for programmed temperature changes via an external input, enhancing experimental flexibility.

Applications

The TC2 Bip is ideal for controlling temperatures in small experimental chambers used for studying acutely isolated or cultured cells. Its design ensures uniform temperature distribution across areas such as 35x18mm, making it suitable for both conventional and inverted microscopes.

Additional Information

The controller includes features like LIMIT adjustments to control the rate of temperature change, and a TEMP 1 or TEMP 2 switch to select the reference temperature. It is compatible with thin transparent (ITO) heaters and can be integrated into systems requiring accurate temperature control over a wide range of flow rates.
