Bioptechs FCS3 Chamber Controller

Description

The FCS3 was designed to maintain accurate thermal control and allow near laminar flow perfusion. Both of these functions are incorporated into our patented Microaqueduct Slide. The surface of the slide, opposite the specimen side, is coated with an electrically conductive transparent thin film of Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) and two electrical contacts (busbars). When the FCS3 is completely assembled and placed on the stage adapter, two electrical contacts and a thermal sensor, (not shown in drawing), rest on these busbars. A temperature controller is used to pass a regulated current flow through the ITO Coating. This causes the surface of the slide to heat. The heat is transferred through the media to the cell surface on the coverslip thereby providing a conductive heat transfer. The metal base of the chamber is also temperature regulated to provide heat to both the incoming media and peripheral thermal support to the metal housing.
