Many reactions and processes occur at high temperatures. The Heated Diamond Top-plate includes all the normal features of the Golden Gate™ sampling technique but with the added benefit of heating samples up to 300ºC. Diamond has a uniquely high thermal conductivity. The Top-plate has a low thermal mass, and in combination with high power heaters in close proximity to the diamond, both rapid and efficient heating is achieved. This gives a high degree of temperature control.
A rapid sample turn around is therefore possible. The Top-plate can be used with a computer controlled temperature controller with digital readout to 1°C. With safety in mind, low voltage (30V) heaters are used, and for additional protection thermal fuses are fitted as standard. The controller complies with European CE regulations.
