Accessory Note 1

PCS.3 Single Cell Peltier Temperature Controller

Chirascan can be equipped with an optional peltier temperature controller for rapid and precise temperature control of the sample cell. Chirascan’s Pro-Data control software enables extensive temperature and ramping control for standard CD, absorbance and fluorescence signal measurements.

This PCS.3 is based around the Quantum North West TC125 Unit. The unit features a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C using a circulating chiller unit), excellent thermal contact and accommodates both rectangular and cylindrical cuvettes. A full list of features is shown below.
