Cryopreservation and Reanimation of Living Cells
Preservation and storage of cells provides laboratories the ability to conduct experiments, develop immunizations, perform human and animal stem cell research, and develop plant varieties and hybrids.

Accurate Temperature Control for the Separation of Solvents from Liquid Samples
The separation of one component from a liquid sample is integral to the medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical, chromatography and petrochemical fields. This note looks at Thermo Scientific* products that can effectively maintain the precise temperatures during exothermic and endothermic stages of compound separation.

Temperature Control for Computer to Plate Technology
To consistently produce the highest-quality imaging, a temperature control unit is used. This note looks at the range of highly reliable and easy-to-maintain Thermo Scientific TCUs.

Positive Displacement Pump and Turbine Pump Attributes to Consider for Liquid-Based Temperature Control
Due to the stringent requirements of today's most complex applications, the Thermo Scientific ThermoFlex recirculating chiller platform is available with a wide variety of pumps to meet the most demanding application needs.

The Importance of Temperature Control with Abbe Refractometers
Accurate refractometric results can only be achieved by stabilizing the sample temperature of the solution during measurement. Selecting the best temperature control equipment will not only improve the accuracy of the measured refractive index, but offer efficient operation and limited workspace.

Understanding a Fog Testing System
This application note looks at fog testing, the method to recreate automotive interior out-gassing in a timely, measurable and repeatable way, using various standards, such as DIN, ISO and SAE.

Understanding Temperature Control in Bioreactor Systems
Bioreactors have become integral to the pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries, and to successfully fulfill experimental requirements, suitable conditions and parameters must be provided. This note looks at how the range of Thermo Scientific range of heated and cooled chillers and bath circulators can provide accurate temperature control.

How to determine the amount of heat a recirculating chiller adds to a room
By using the power consumption method to compute power usage (utilizing the power consumption of the chiller, process heat, and the type of condenser the chiller has for calculations), one can determine the heat output in the room where the chiller is located.

Proper fluid selection and maintenance for heat transfer applications
Not all water types are suitable for your temperature control unit (TCU). While all water starts out with the same basic properties, there are advantages and disadvantages to using various water types with your TCU.

Considerations for using Thermo Scientific bath circulators and water baths as calibration equipment
Review the considerations for using a standard bath circulator or water bath as a calibration instrument, instead of a purpose-built calibration bath.

Optimizing the selection of a recirculating chiller
The first four criteria - heat load, setpoint temperature, flow rate and pressure loss - are well known and typically used to select a recirculating chiller. To optimize your re-circulating chiller selection, you must determine one or several unique requirements.

VersaCool mobile application
Connect via Bluetooth™ and remotely control and monitor up to seven VersaCool bath circulators simultaneously from your smart phone or tablet.

Thermo Scientific Horizon Fog Testing System
The Horizon Fog Testing System consists of a controller which is fitted to a large-volume bath vessel specifically designed for the fogging test. Additional features assist in the proper set up of the system to enable accurate, repeatable testing.
