Heating probes

Heating within the pipetting probe can be achieved through a water jacket or a resistive layer (printed circuit or wound wire) with thermostatic regulation using miniature thermistors.

Heating is usually applied indirectly to the pipette tubing through a higher mass component in a good conductivity matherial, such as copper or aluminum.

A patented design based on resistive layer can heat the smallest volume down within the probe tip.
