Heating/Cooling Device HCMIS

The HCMIS micro-incubator is a microscope stage-mounted device for heating and cooling biological samples.
Based on Peltier technology, it provides bi-directional temperature control, enabling stable physiological conditions to be maintained or protocols requiring rapid temperature variations to be carried out.
Designed for easy integration into leading microscopes, it is compatible with ALA chambers and offers robust, accurate mounting.

Heating/Cooling Device HCMIS features

  • Bi-directional temperature control (heating and cooling) via Peltier module
  • Direct mounting on standard microscope stages (Zeiss, Nikon, Leica, Olympus, etc.)
  • Compatible with ALA-MS (19 mm) and 35 mm Petri chambers
  • Integrated thermal sensor for real-time feedback
  • Robust, compact design suitable for laboratory environments
  • Compatible with ALA controllers (HCT-10, HCT-30)
