Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell differentiation temperature regulation plate technology, and in particular to a temperature uniformity regulation plate during cell differentiation. Background Technology

[0002] Cell differentiation is one of the core research areas in biology. It is of vital importance for understanding the development of organisms, the mechanisms of disease, and the development of regenerative medicine. Temperature is a key environmental factor in the cell differentiation process, which has a significant impact on cell growth, metabolism, and gene expression. As cell differentiation research continues to deepen, researchers have increasingly higher requirements for the precision of experimental conditions, especially the precise control and uniform distribution of temperature. In experiments that induce pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into cardiomyocytes, precise temperature control can improve differentiation efficiency and cell quality, providing a more reliable cell model for the treatment of myocardial diseases. Therefore, the development of a regulating plate that can precisely adjust temperature uniformity has become an urgent need for the development of cell differentiation research.

[0003] Currently available cell differentiation temperature control plates mainly consist of temperature control elements and temperature uniformity protection components. However, due to limitations in heating and cooling methods, traditional culture equipment makes it difficult to guarantee temperature uniformity within the culture space. Temperature gradients may exist within the incubator, with significant temperature differences between areas near heating or cooling elements and areas further away. This temperature inhomogeneity leads to inconsistent cell differentiation at different locations, greatly reducing the reliability of experimental results. The issue of temperature uniformity is particularly prominent when conducting large-scale cell culture for differentiation research, severely impacting the scalability of experiments and the accuracy of data. Furthermore, traditional temperature control equipment is often designed to meet general cell culture needs and is not optimized for the specific temperature requirements of cell differentiation. Its functions are relatively limited, failing to meet the demands for dynamic temperature regulation, precise control, and coordinated control with other experimental conditions in cell differentiation experiments. Some cell differentiation experiments require precise gradient control of temperature changes at different stages, a complex temperature regulation function that traditional equipment struggles to achieve.
