Warming plate maintains a constant 37°C protecting cell viability and allowing trypsin to work efficiently without the need to return to the incubator repeatedly. Anodized aluminum top plate fits most tissue culture vessels and maintains a uniform temperature across the entire surface. The UV resistant polypropylene construction prevents the housing from breaking down under UV lights, is water resistant, and cleans easily with ethanol or IPA. A 15-minute countdown timer helps keep track of time sensitive applications and the small footprint makes it easy to use on the benchtop or in a cell culture hood.
