Прибор для термостабилизации кюветы с живыми клетками

The wide use of cellular technologies in modern biological research and applied studies requires a device enabling operations with living cells under optimal conditions for the last. The Institute for Biological Instrumentation with Manufacturing Facilities of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IBI RAS) has developed and built a "Device to provide stable temperature in a dish containing living cells" enabling provision of optimal temperatures in a dish containing cells and embryos of warm-blooded animals. The construction of the dish enables insertion of electrodes into the cells for measuring their electrical parameters. The device comprises two elements: a controller and a thermostage with a dish. The thermostage can be mounted onto a microscopic stage or onto a table with the use of a magnifier. Illumination is provided from the dish bottom. The dish temperature can be assigned from 10 to 50 ºС. Accuracy of temperature maintaining is ± 0.1 ºС.
