Thermal PhysiologyJeff Richardson2014-09-30T20:45:40-07:00

Thermal measurement and control of an experimental environment is required whenever temperatures must be known and stabilized or where the change of temperature must be regulated. Thermal-limit respirometry* is an innovative method measuring metabolic response as an indicator of optimal performance, thermal tolerance, thermal stress or critical limits.

Thermal physiology spans diverse disciplines. Ecologists can establish the physiological criteria for species distribution. Hypothermic and hyperthermic consequences are of interest in comparative physiology and also in biomedical studies of obesity and diabetes (see Founders White Paper). And tissue regeneration or drug efficacy can be indicated thermally and therapeutic countermeasures to inflammation or burn treatment can be evaluated.

Salient Features

  • Temperature measurement and control
  • Integrate with high-resolution calorimetry
  • Set setpoint to continuous value
  • Step the setpoint using variable soak times
  • Ramp and maintain at a setpoint, single shot or repeat ramps
  • Integrate with controlled atmospheric instrumentation
