HCT-10 temperature controller

The HCT-10 temperature controller is a single-channel digital bipolar device designed for heating and cooling in high-precision laboratory applications.
It provides stable and quiet PID control, ideal for electrophysiology, imaging and noise-sensitive experiments.
Compact and robust, it is compatible with many ALA Scientific temperature control accessories.

Features of the HCT-10 temperature controller

  • Bipolar heating/cooling control (resistive or Peltier)
  • Single channel with temperature feedback
  • ACM (Automatic Control Mode) for safety in the event of sensor loss
  • Three response speeds (low, medium, high)
  • Analogue output proportional to temperature (10 mV/°C)
  • External control input for DAQ control
  • Low operating noise for sensitive experiments
  • Compatible with ALA micro-incubators, lens heaters and perfusion cubes
