2.3 Temperature and CO
2
Option (TCO)
2.3.1 Overview
If the Operetta is equipped with the TCO upgrade, the climate in the sample chamber
can be controlled via the Harmony software:
l
Temperature: 37 °C or unregulated
l
CO
2
concentration: 3 to 8.5 % (0.5 % steps) or unregulated
Notice
The TCO unit needs approximately one hour to reach and stabilize
the target temperature and 5 min. to stabilize the selected.CO
2
concentration.
Inside the Operetta there is an air-circulating unit which regulates the CO
2
level in the
sample chamber. Temperature is controlled by heating elements in the Live Cell
Chamber and inside the sample chamber. The sample chamber is sealed so that
almost no air or CO
2
gas can escape.
