The new Hot/Cold Plate NG offers a
wide temperature range, presettable in the
range -5¡ÆC to 65¡ÆC and is very quick and precise in reaching and keeping
the preset temperature.
The 35150
can be used as a conventional HOP PLATE, to carry out a rapid precise
screening of
narcotic type analgesic drugs according to the well known Hot Plate
Test
devised by N.B Eddy and D. Leinbach.
As a COLD
PLATE; the Cold Plate Test is useful in studying cold receptors and cold
Allodynia,
p phenomenon very frequently observed in chronic pain on humans.
The lid
reduces humidity condensation on the plate at low temperatures. Two
working modes
allow for testing at fixed temperature or at increasing/decreasing
temperature
(RAMP).
