Experimental Well provides active Sample Feedback Temperature Control. This ensures that your sample
will be within 0.1°C from the temperature set point regardless from room temperature variations.

It is recommended using
an
Okolab SENSOR LID (available for purchase) to secure the Fine Gauge
Thermocouple in place in the Reference Well during calibration or operation in Sample Feedback Mode (see
Sensor lids are available for the following: 35 mm, 60 mm Petri-dish, chamber slide and chambered cover
glass. Sensor Lids are ordered separately using the codes in following table.

Advantages of Sample Feedback Control Mode are: direct monitoring and active control of sample
temperature and independence from room temperature variations. The disadvantage is that it requires
manual operation for correct placement of the fine gauge thermocouple in a Reference Well.

During the normal operation it could be necessary to open the incubator. The picture below shows
the procedure to follow when opening incubator:
