Analysa computer ready system

Features and Benefits

The LTS350 is an easy to use versatile heating/freezing stage, with simple microscope slide mounted sample loading. The Analysa systems are optimised for isothermal sample analysis applications where high speed heating and cooling are compromised by larger sample area with excellent thermal stability of less than 0.1C.

The stage consists of a large area temperature controlled element with a platinum resistor sensor embedded close to the surface for accurate temperature measurements. To minimise the temperature gradient across the sample, the light aperture in the block is only 2.5mmØ

The temperature is programmed by the intuitive Linksys 32 software and controlled via the CI94 computer interface controller. Highly sophisticated temperature profiles of up to 100 ramps can be set up with ranges of heating rates from 0.1°C/min to 30°C/min.
