METTLER TOLEDO's new HS82 and HS84 hot stage systems offer easy to understand and simple to operate solutions for temperature control or heat flow measurement under a microscope. Their dual heater furnace design guarantees outstanding temperature uniformity in the sample. The new controller offers easy One Click operation and at the same time maximum flexibility e.g. method programming with up to 99 isothermal and dynamic temperature segments.

METTLER TOLEDO is pleased to announce the launch of its new Excellence Hot-Stage Systems. The HS82 hot-stage system offers the best solution in all situations where the temperature of very small samples has to be regulated in a limited space and where the samples have to be observed at the same time. If you want to simultaneously record changes in the appearance of the sample and the calorimetric behavior, the HS84 DSC hot-stage system is the right choice.

The heart of all hot-stage systems is the furnace with a heating element beneath and above the sample, which guarantees outstanding temperature uniformity in the sample. The new HS 1 control unit is equipped with a wide color touchscreen. This allows intuitive operation with your finger and delivers clear information to the user. If repetitive measurements are required, one press of a key (One Click) is sufficient to start a stored method the system looks after the rest.

The possibility to pause or accelerate the temperature program or switch to cooling during the running measurement using the buttons on the touch screen or the manual keys gives full temperature control to the user. Thermal events can be marked on the temperature curve. Access to the sample chamber from above means that the sample can be easily inserted and, if necessary, mechanically manipulated.

With 56 thermal elements, the new, robust FRS5 ceramic sensor in the HS84 is highly sensitive and has unprecedented temperature resolution. It is therefore ideally suited to all possible applications of the DSC hot-stage. Evaluation of the DSC curves measured with the HS84, graphical processing, and documentation are extremely easy using the evaluation window of the STAR software.
