ibidi Heating System Multiwell Plate – Silver Line
Alarms
In this dialog, it is possible to set the alarm limits for deviating control parameters. Move
from the mode menu to the alarm menu by pressing the “up/right” button.
The maximum and minimum limits of the alarm can be set for each individual channel. If the alarm
is activated (which happens when the current value goes below/above the low/high limits), the
current value (I) blinks, showing alternately the value and “low” or “high”, respectively. To stop the
display blinking, navigate to the blinking channel and press the round button once.

Temperature Adjustment in the Sample
The ibidi Temperature Controller – Silver Line controls the temperature of the actively heated com-
ponents. The temperature in the sample is affected primarily by the temperature of the Heated Plate
and the Heated Glass Bottom, and, due to heat loss to the surrounding environment, they must usu-
ally be set to a temperature slightly above the desired temperature in the sample. The Heated Lid
acts primarily to prevent greater heat loss to the environment and to prevent condensation in the
chamber during microscopy experiments; it should generally have a temperature several degrees
above that of the Heated Plate. To ensure that the sample reaches the correct temperature, ibidi
recommends a temperature adjustment step before starting the first experiment. The temperature
adjustment should also be done separately for each chamber type used.
When starting the temperature adjustment in the sample in your specific setup, use the recommended
temperature settings (e.g., for a 37°C sample temperature):
