Fast Temperature Shift

CherryTemp - Cherry Biotech

CherryTemp is a temperature controller based on two independent Peltier channels, allowing for very accurate temperature control and ultra-fast shifts from 5°C to 45°C. A thermalization liquid circulates from a reservoir to the heat exchangers (heating/cooling Peltier elements) where it is thermalized to a target temperature. Once thermalized, this liquid can be quickly injected to a microfluidic device (CherryTemp chip) mounted near the sample. Because of the small thermal mass (the distance between the microfluidic chip and the sample), the temperature transfer is very fast (less than 10 seconds) and of unprecedented accuracy due to a feedback loop control of the room temperature and the heat-sink played by immersion objective lenses.
