ibidi Heating System 4 Slides – Silver Line
Each heating unit that is connected (e.g., Incubation Chamber or Objective Heater) is shown on an
individual display. The display number (1–4) is indicated in the upper left corner of each display
(Figure
and Table
). Navigate between the displays using the “left” and “right” buttons.
Depending on the heated components used, different connector ports (output channels) at the back
of the ibidi Temperature Controller – Silver Line can be used (Table
). Accordingly, the information
of one, two, or three heated components with the designations Plate, Lid, Glass or Obj is shown per
display.

The first three lines of the display show the respective set (“S” = set) and actual (“I” = is) temper-
ature values of the corresponding components (Figure
). If a component of a heating unit is not
connected properly, “N.C.” will be shown in the “I”-value line.
The bottom line shows the temperature of the temperature sensor (if connected), as well as the state of
the device (“Run” or “Stop”). On the bottom right, you can switch to the settings menu via “Setup”.

Run/Stop Mode
Set the whole system to run or stop mode by changing the setting in the bottom line of the display to
“Run” (= system is running) or “Stop” (= system is not running), respectively.

Incubation Parameters
Set the parameters via the front display and wait for the temperature to equilibrate. It is recom-
mended to start the system at least 30 minutes before inserting cells. Recommended values are given
in Table
Before starting an experiment, an initial temperature adjustment must be performed (see Section
