Description The HC1 Temperature Control Platform is a high-performance resistive heating block designed for integration into automated workstations, featuring an aluminum-based heating substrate suitable for medium- to high-temperature incubation. Its compact design requires minimal space, with a height of only 34 mm. The Heat Lid temperature-controlled cover can be used in combination with the HC1 Temperature Control Platform and the T1C/T1C4 series to enhance heating rates, improve temperature uniformity, and prevent sample evaporation. The system consists of a control module and a temperature control module, equipped with a display for easy monitoring. It can operate as a standalone unit or be connected to a host computer via the RS-485 communication interface for remote control. Features HC1 Temperature Control Platform Wide Temperature Range The HC1 platform can be set from room temperature +5°C to 110°C, and the Heat Lid operates within the same range. Rapid Heating The HC1 platform can heat from 30°C to 95°C in just 2 minutes. Enhanced Performance with Heat Lid Using the Heat Lid accelerates heating, improves temperature uniformity, and reduces sample loss due to evaporation. Heat Lid Temperature Control Heated Lid Easy Integration The HC1 Temperature Control Platform is compact and occupies only a single ANSI/SLAS plate position, with an instrument height of just 3.4 cm. Open Communication Supports Modbus communication protocol over the RS-485 bus for flexible integration with automated workstations and host systems.
