Homeothermic Controller and Plate

Maintains normal body temperature. Useful for small animal studies, for example, for acute or chronic surgeries under anesthesia.

Overview

Maintains normal animal body temperature. Useful for small animal studies, for example, for acute or chronic surgeries under anesthesia. The controller utilizes dual set point circuit control to prevent the heating element from overshooting the control point due to thermal lag in the control system.

The system includes:

  • Mouse Rectal Probe (connects directly to the Homeothermic Controller so you can read the temperature on the display)
  • Heating plate
