Nikon / Tokai Hit Thermo Plate Controller – Precise Temperature Regulation for Live-Cell Imaging and Assisted Reproduction (MPN: MATS-U505R30) Used; excellent condition. The Nikon MATS-U505R30 (manufactured by Tokai Hit) is an automated, high-precision thermocontrol unit engineered to supply stable, uniform heating to glass Thermo Plate stage inserts on upright and inverted research microscopes. Designed to maintain optimal physiological conditions for sensitive biological samples during live-cell imaging, in vitro fertilization (IVF), microinjection, and time-lapse microscopy, this controller utilizes advanced Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback algorithms to eliminate thermal fluctuations. Outfitted with an integrated ultra-fine thermocouple interface and intuitive digital temperature readout, the MATS-U505R30 ensures fast thermal recovery, minimal overshoot, and consistent temperature maintenance across the entire active observation area. Technical Performance and Engineering Design Advanced PID Temperature Regulation: Utilizes high-frequency PID control logic to continuously monitor and adjust heat output, preventing temperature drift and minimizing thermal overshoot during initial startup and ambient room temperature changes. Ultra-Fine Sensor Feedback Loop: Connects to high-sensitivity thermocouple sensors embedded directly within glass stage plates or external sample probes to deliver real-time, high-accuracy temperature feedback. Clear Digital Display & Intuitive Controls: Features a bright LED screen displaying set-point and actual plate temperatures simultaneously, complete with straightforward touch-pad controls for rapid calibration and set-point modification. Compact Benchtop Footprint: Space-saving enclosure integrates smoothly into crowded microscopy workstations, biosafety hoods, and micromanipulator setups without cluttering the stage environment. Product Specifications Part Number / MPN: MATS-U505R30 (Cross-listed as Tokai Hit MATS-U505R30 / Nikon MATS-U505R30) Manufacturer / OEM: Tokai Hit Co., Ltd. (Branded for Nikon Microscope Systems) System Classification: Automatic Thermo Plate Controller for Microscope Heating Stages Control Logic Method: Digital Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Control Temperature Operating Range: Ambient +5 C up to 50 C (configurable for standard 37.0 C physiological incubation) Temperature Indication Accuracy: High-resolution digital display (typically within +/- 0.1 C to 0.3 C depending on sensor calibration) System Compatibility: Works with Tokai Hit MATS-U Series glass heating plates (such as MATS-U55R30 / MATS-455R30) designed for Nikon, Olympus, Leica, and Zeiss upright or inverted stages Key Benefits and Primary Applications In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) & Assisted Reproduction: Maintains strict 37.0 C temperature uniformity across culture dishes and slides during oocyte handling, sperm motility assessment, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Long-Term Live-Cell Time-Lapse Microscopy: Prevents thermal shock to living cells, tissue cultures, and embryonic samples during extended fluorescence, phase contrast, or DIC observation loops. Cellular & Genetic Engineering: Supports temperature-sensitive micromanipulation, electrophysiology, andpatch-clamp protocols inside laminar flow hoods or dedicated microscope enclosures.
