The TC2BIP was designed for patch clamp/microscopy studies where low noise and accuracy are critical. It is flexible enough to put 2Amps into a 12V Peltier device (see our CH Cooling/Heating module) or as little as 0.25Amps into our MPRE8 8Ch Pre-heater. It can easily be upgraded to 3 channel operation. Typically the Main channel is used for the tissue chamber, Aux channel for the HPRE2 Pre-heater and the 3rd channel (if installed) for the MPRE8 for superfusion but there are many other possibilities. The setpoint range can be extended beyond the standard 50°C range to >60°C for studies on nociception.
