Features and specifications
ThermoClamp-3 Controller
• Auto-tuning PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) temperature
control accurate to <1.0°C (often ±0.1˚C) with fuzzy logic
• Extremely low noise (analog heating) designed for electrophysiology
• Over-temperature protection
• Three types of user-configurable thermal runaway protection (patent
pending) with fuzzy logic constraints
• Smart voltage setpoint: digital, analog (BNC) or automatic
• Separate displays for both temperatures (control sensor and safety
sensor)
• Constant USB/serial data stream output
• Automatic heater failure detection and prevention
• Utilization of the safety sensor as secondary input for feedback control
Perfusion Pencil
