HCT-30 temperature controller

The HCT-30 temperature controller is a 3-channel digital bipolar device (TriTemp) designed for demanding laboratory applications, particularly in electrophysiology and imaging.
It combines heating and cooling control (via Peltier or resistive elements), channels with temperature feedback, an adjustable power supply channel, low noise, and built-in safety functions (automatic switching in the event of loss of feedback, alarms).

Features of the HCT-30 Temperature Controller

  • Bipolar heating/cooling control (resistive or Peltier)
  • Three channels: two channels with temperature feedback, one power channel without feedback
  • Automatic power sharing between channels
  • ACM (Automatic Control Mode) with automatic switchover in the event of deviation > 7°C
  • Three response speeds (low, medium, high)
  • Analogue output proportional to temperature (10 mV/°C) & external control input
  • Compatible with ALA peripherals (micro-incubators, infusion cubes, lens heaters)
  • Low operating noise
