ibidi Heating System, Universal Fit
4.6
Heating Inserts
The Heating Insert holds the sample and fits into the Heated Plate. The Insert is held in place by
strong neodymium magnets. Use the handles to place/remove the insert into/from the Plate of the
ibidi Heating System, Universal Fit.
The Heating Inserts have a lower part (insert) that fit into the Heated Plate, and an upper part (holder)
to press the sample down. The two–part inserts have two functions that both rely on the force of the
integrated magnets. The first function is to hold the Slides or Dishes firmly in position, so as to avoid
displacement during microscope stage movements. The second is to create a tight contact between
the Slides or Dishes and the metallic insert, to maximize the heat transfer and ensure stable heating
of the sample. The Heated Plate passively heats the inserts.
WARNING!
Heated Plate, Heated Lid, and Heating Inserts all contain strong neodymium magnets! Please
contact us for a non-magnetic system, if permanent magnetic fields are detrimental to your ex-
periment.
