One is using thermal sensitive fluorescent materials for non-contact measurements, the other is using contact thermometers to measure the cellular temperature. From the sensing mechanism, these techniques may be divided into two categories. Over the past decade, researchers have made great efforts to explore various techniques for the measurement of intracellular temperature 9, 10, 11, 12. However, a reliable method for precise measurement of local cellular temperatures remains a technical challenge to date. Accurate measurement of the local temperature variation of individual cells and the intracellular temperature distribution may offer valuable clues for understanding the mechanism of heat generation and heat diffusion in different organelles, and therefore promote the development of research on the pathogenesis of cancer and other diseases 5, 6, 7, 8. A great number of biological activities occurring in cells, such as enzyme reaction 1 and metabolism 2, are found accompanied by temperature increments or fluctuations 3, 4. Temperature is an important physical parameter in organisms. This method may open a door for real-time recording of the absolute local temperature increments of individual cells, therefore offering valuable information for cell biology and clinical therapy in the field of cancer research. Increments of local temperature close to adherent human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells were continuously recorded for days without stimulus, showing frequent fluctuations within 60 mK and a maximum increment by 285 mK. In this method, built-in high-performance micro-thermocouple arrays and double-stabilized system with a stability of 10 mK were applied. Here, we attempted to offer an alternative approach for measuring the absolute increments of local temperature in micro-Testing Zones induced by live cells. Unfortunately, the optical properties of the fluorescent nano-materials may be affected by complicated intracellular environment, leading to unexpected measurement errors and controversial arguments. A variety of non-contact methods used for measuring cellular temperature have been developed, where changes of local temperature at cell-level and sub-cell-level are indirectly calculated through the changes in intensity, band-shape, bandwidth, lifetime or polarization anisotropy of the fluorescence spectra recorded from the nano-sized fluorescent materials pre-injected into the target cell.
Many Brinsea incubators are fitted with ambient temperature alarms that warn if the room temperature is getting too high or too low for the incubation temperature to be reliably maintained, see the table below.To monitor the temperature distribution of a cell and its changes under varied conditions is currently a technical challenge. If the room temperature falls below the room minimum your incubator might struggle to reach the set incubation temperature and the temperature around the eggs will not be as even as it should be. Maximum temperature is limited by ambient conditions.
Max = the maximum incubation temperature setting on the incubator control. The incubator fans and the eggs themselves create some heat. 35☌ (95☏), the minimum incubation temperature will be 38☌ (100.4☏), even if the setting is lower. For example, if your room is very warm, e.g. The actual minimum temperature that can be reliably maintained in practice is always approximately 3☌ (5.4☏) above the ambient room temperature. Min = the minimum incubation temperature setting on the incubator control. The room ‘min’ temperatures vary according to the incubator, see table below.
TEMPERATURE INCUBATOR FREE
Incubators should be located in a room free from draughts and out of direct sunlight. It is important that your incubator is located in a room with a stable temperature to ensure optimum conditions for incubation. All Brinsea incubators allow for temperature adjustment, different models have different ranges of adjustment, see min and max on the table below.
