Animal Temperature Control Systems
Animal Temperature Control system for rodents
The TCAT-2 Series controllers provide accurate temperature control in a variety of laboratory applications and may be used to maintain the body temperature of anesthetized animals during surgery or stereotaxic procedures. The TCAT-2LV model provides a low-voltage DC output for electrically sensitive applications where AC frequencies might interfere with other monitoring devices. It comes standard with a built in DC power supply designed to operate with our Heating Plates for small rodents.
Animal Temperature Control for heating and cooling
The TCAT-2LV utilizes a dual set point control circuit to prevent a heating element from overshooting the control point due to thermal lag in the control system. This is an important feature in preventing burns due to incorrect control settings or faulty feedback sensor. The units come in durable baked enamel painted aluminum housing. Adjustable front feet allow the user to raise the front of controller to provide a more convenient viewing angle. The TCAT-2 is simple to set-up; connect the feedback sensor to the animal and to the back of the controller, connect the heating pad, blanket, lamp or cooling device to the appropriate outlet on the rear of the controller. Adjust the set temperature as required (lower green display) according to the instruction label on top of the instrument. The set temperature is stored in memory after the unit is switched off.
