The
THMS600 is one of the most widely used heating and freezing
stages on the market. Over 800 stages have been sold around
the world to date, it is used in many applications where high
heating/freezing rates and 0.1°C accuracy and stability
are needed.
The sample is loaded on a 0.17mm cover slip on a highly polished
silver heating element to ensure excellent heat transfer and
extremely sensitive temperature measurement. A platinum resistor
sensor, accurate to 0.01°C provides far more accurate
and stable temperature signal that can be achieved with a
thermocouple.
The temperature is programmed by the standalone TMS94 temperature
progammer. Sophisticated temperature profiles of up to 32
ramps can be set up with ranges of heating rates from 0.1C/min
to 130C/min.
The TMS94 can be used as a standalone programmer or connected
via RS232 to PC enabling use of further features within the
Linksys software. TMS94 firmware can be updated via email
using the RS232 connection.
Samples can be quickly characterized by heating to within
a few degrees of the temperature of interest at a rate of
130C/min then slowed down to a few degrees a minute to closely
examine sample changes utilising a variety of microscopy techniques.
The entire experiment can be saved as an online plot or exported
to a spreadsheet application.
