Dolomite has launched the Meros TCU-100. The first module in the Meros range of plug-and-play microfluidic products, it offers advanced temperature control from 1 to 100 °C for microfluidic chips, microscope slides and other third party devices.
11 cm (4 ¼ inches) wide, the chemically resistant, robust system is designed for a wide range of biological and chemical applications, including cell analysis, thermal control of microreactors, incubation of microdroplets, protein crystallization, nanoparticle synthesis and thermocycling of micro-scale samples.
Using specialist electronics and temperature measurement techniques, it enables temperature control – including cooling, heating and thermocycling – with an accuracy of 0.5 °C, stability and target temperature resolution of 0.1 °C, and rapid ramp rates up to 1 °C/s.
