Thermal sensitivity testing is a cornerstone of pain and neuroscience research. The Hot Cold Plate enables laboratories to perform standard hot plate assays, evaluate thermal hyperalgesia, and study cold allodynia. It is regarded as a gold standard for assessing thermal pain in rodents and serves as an effective tool for screening analgesic interventions.
Hot Cold Plate, also call Analgesia Meter, is a precision-engineered device for evaluating thermal pain thresholds, thermal hyperalgesia, and cold/heat allodynia in rodents. Temperature range goes from -5°C to 65°C. The Hot Cold Plate adopts precise PID control algorithm, which is different from the temperature breakpoint method adopted by ordinary temperature controllers. The PID algorithm will continuously collect temperature feedback to control heating/cooling, thus being able to control the current temperature more accurately.
The Hot Cold Plate contains a metal temperature plate with a digital display and a lidded transparent glass cylindrical restrainer.
Application: Neuropathic pain, inflammatory pain, hot and cold allodynia and hyperalgesia etc.
