In-line peltier heating

The Scientifica Temperature Controller uses an in-line Peltier heater and allows the heating of perfusion solutions to physiological temperatures (up to a maximum of 37 degrees Celsius when used at a flow rate of 6ml/m) Temperatures can be controlled within 0.1 degrees.

The Temperature Controller uses the Scientifica LinLab software for operation and allows adjustment of temperature settings such as gain and maximum temperature. Actual bath temperature, as well as heater temperature, can be view against the target temperature through a live graph, shown in the LinLab software and this can be export for reference against sample recordings.

Exported Word document of heater tubing replacement steps.

The tubing inside the Temperature Control Systems can be replaced as required.Using blocked or damaged tubing or replacement tubing of inadequate specifications may cause damage to the Temperature Control System. Do not use the system without internal tubing in place.Replacement tubing should be 1.06mm outer diameter/0.55mminner diameter polythene tubing.To replace tubing first remove and retain the four screws holding the top plate of the Temperature Control Block in place.

Once the top plate has been removed the heater exchange unit should be visible. Remove and retain the four mounting screws holding the top plate of the heater unit in place.

Once the top plate has been removed, the tubing from the internal heat spiral can be removed.

Replacement tubing is available from VWR (Note: This is the US sales site. For other territories it is easy to find using the MFLX06417-21 catalogue number). The specs are shown in the screengrab below:

Cut 500mm of the replacement 1.06mm (OD)/0.55mm (ID) polythene tube and place into position through the spiral heat exchange block.  Leave approximately 25mm at either end.

Once tubing has been replaced, reaffix the heat exchange block top plate using the four screws and then reattach the main top plate and affix with the four screws. Suitable leur fitting and tubing can be used to re-extend the tubing to the perfusion source. Similarly, suitable leur fittings and tubing should be attach to the 1.0mm ID tubing in the heater block to deliver the solution to the sample from the output port of the Temperature Control system.
