[0002] In the patch clamp experiment, the diaphragm needs to be placed in a cell recording tank on the experimental operating table. The recording tank contains a culture liquid and needs to maintain a constant temperature. Most of the existing constant temperature devices are based on the principle of connecting a heating device and a temperature sensor at the bottom of the recording tank. The heating device and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the controller to achieve a constant temperature effect inside the recording tank.
