Microtiter Temperature Control Plate

The Microtiter Temperature Control Plate from Solid State Cooling Systems delivers uniform, precision thermal regulation for microplates used in automated laboratory workflows. Designed to meet the ANSI/SBS 2004-1 standard, this compact cold plate ensures ±0.1°C temperature stability across the entire surface, making it ideal for high-throughput screening, diagnostics, and life sciences applications where thermal consistency is critical.

Unlike traditional heating and cooling methods that can introduce variability or delay, the Microtiter Plate uses a precisely controlled recirculating fluid to maintain target temperatures. This approach not only ensures rapid response to load changes but also removes waste heat from the lab automation stage, preserving the integrity of sensitive assays and reducing thermal interference with surrounding equipment.

Key features

• Precision temperature control: Maintains ±0.1°C stability and repeatability, even under dynamic load conditions.
• Wide operating range: Supports temperatures from 0°C to 65°C (extendable to -5°C with compatible chillers), accommodating a broad spectrum of experimental needs.
• Standardized compatibility: Designed for ANSI/SBS 2004-1 standard microplates, ensuring seamless integration with most lab automation platforms.
• Recirculating fluid system: Utilizes a closed-loop fluid path for consistent thermal performance and efficient heat removal.
• Rapid thermal response: Adapts quickly to changes in thermal load, minimizing downtime and improving throughput.
• Flexible integration: Available in two configurations—with short side or long side fluid connections—to suit various deck layouts.
• Compact and low-profile: With a top surface height of just 1.181”, it fits easily into tight automation spaces.
• Self-leveling feet and alignment marks: Patented design simplifies robotic alignment and ensures stable, level placement.
• Durable construction: Made with aluminum and polymer wetted materials for long-term reliability and chemical compatibility.
• Versatile connectivity: Comes standard with 1/4” NS2 DESO fittings, with other fitting types available upon request.
• Optimized for SSCS chillers: Pairs seamlessly with UC160-190, TCube Edge, or ThermoCube models using centrifugal pumps.
• Enhanced thermal insulation: Optional three-layer insulated hoses improve efficiency and minimize heat loss.
