1 / 5Pages

New Features • Mode indicator (dynamic or imaging) • TTL interface and footswitch mode activation • Cold start acceleration • Temperature output port for recording • Heat shock activation • Heated Lid power supply • Remote setpoint port • Temperature output (for analog recording) Bioptechs Delta T® Controlled Culture Dish System Finally a culture dish system specifically designed for live-cell microscopy! Now you can have accurate temperature control and high-numeric aperture compatibility in a convenient disposable culture dish system that even works in confocal applications. • Easily adapted to a variety of specimen types from monolayered adherent cells to brain slice and tissue preps • Low mass to thermo-regulate as opposed to conventional stage heaters • Plate, incubate and observe without the need to transfer your cells • Fast thermal recovery after perfusion (within seconds) • Compatible with inverted and upright microscope stands • Coverglass bottom for optimum optical compatibility • No need for warm air blowers or stage heaters • Direct first-surface heating to your cells • Can also be cooled below ambient • Perfusion available • No pre-heating Bioptechs is now introducing the next generation Open Culture Dish MicroEnvironmental Control System: the Delta T4. In addition to the improvements to the popular Delta TC3 control algorithm, Bioptechs has incorporated years of customer requests into the Delta T4.

Limitations of Traditional Technique • Stage heaters are inefficient, slow, and inaccurate • Plastic dishes are poor conductors of heat • Temperature does not recover quickly during or after perfusion • Plastic dishes are not suitable for high resolution or polarization microscopy • Nonuniform temperature distribution • Unnecessary dead volume • Usable aperture of dish limited by the opening in heat transfer plate • Surface evaporation significantly contributes to non-linearity of temperature distribution Advantages of the Delta T® Dish System • Place cells onto coverglass and observe •...

system environment. The Coverglass Lid is made of 304 stainless steel, autoclaveable, and available with or without perfusion. This item and/ or the Heating Culture Dish Cover are nearly essential for multi-user facilities. Heated Lid The Bioptechs Delta T Heated Lid is a device which will provide a condensate free optical surface on the top of a Delta T Dish through which specimens can be perfused and trans-illuminated on an inverted microscope. It is reusable and powered by a 2.5 volt source from either a battery or the optional auxiliary power supply in the Delta T Controller. A CO2 port...

Bioptechs Delta T Stage Adapters The Bioptechs Delta T Stage adapter reads the temperature of the Delta T Dishes, provides electrical contacts to power the dishes and supports the dish on the stage for translation. All Delta T systems require a Stage Adapter. These pictures are provided to assist in selecting a stage adapter appropriate for your microscope.
