Advantages of the MTC-20/2SD
- Temperature regulation in delicate electrophysiological recordings
- Absence of switching artifacts owing to analog control
- No electrical interference due to linear power supply
- Simplified perfusion heating
Desktop Temperature Controller
The MTC-20/2SD serves as a single-channel temperature regulator designed for heating in electrophysiology experiments. It resembles the TC-10, differing with reduced output power and a more affordable price.
