Features and Benefits

This is a computer ready hotstage system including the THMS600 hotstage, CI94 computer interface and Linksys 32 software. 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 intuitive Linksys 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 0.1C/min to 130C/min. Temperature profiles can be saved for different experiments.

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.
