TaiTech CTU-N Programmable Aluminum Block Thermostat with Peltier Cooling

The TaiTech CTU-N is a programmable aluminum block thermostat designed for precise temperature control in laboratory applications. Featuring a Peltier cooling system, it offers a temperature range of 0°C to +100°C with an accuracy between ±0.1 to 0.2°C, ideal for biotechnology research requiring stable thermal conditions. The unit supports 9 programmable segments with individual temperature/time settings and repeat cycles, facilitating complex thermal protocols essential in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.

Key features include:

• Interchangeable aluminum blocks compatible with various containers for versatile sample handling.
• Quiet operation with simplified programming for both heating and cooling cycles.
• Fast temperature ramping: heating from 0°C to 95°C in approximately 25 minutes, cooling back in about 40 minutes, supporting efficient experimental workflows.
• Robust safety systems incorporating over-temperature and overcurrent protection alongside advanced diagnostic functions to detect sensor errors and protect samples from temperature excursions, critical for live-cell imaging and synthetic biology research.
• Compact footprint (18×38.5×17 cm) and light weight (~4 kg), suitable for benchtop use in biotechnology and clinical laboratories.
• Power requirements are AC 100 V, 50/60 Hz, 1.5 A, compatible with standard lab electrical systems.

This used device is sold as-is with signs of prior use but remains functional. It is particularly effective for tasks in temperature-sensitive experimental setups, and widely adopted in biomedical engineering and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where precise thermal management is crucial.
