We've been listening to customers and their various needs for reliable and stable temperature control for their plates, tubes, media bottles, you name it. We provide the temperature to it. For automation or benchtop applications in Big Pharma, BioTech or local academic institutions or start-up companies, it’s all the same. It doesn’t matter if the required temp is 4°, 37°, -80° or +250°C. [All the circulators](https://www.mecour.com/blog/bid/73887/Thermal-Circulators-for-Temperature-Control-Does-Size-Really-Matter) connect to MéCour Thermal Blocks in the exact same manner. The system technically operates in the same manner as well.

MéCour takes seriously what our customers dictate for their application requirements and what their samples need to be maintained at.
