MéCour’s fourth time exhibiting at the [ASMS](http://www.asms.org/) show was a huge success! We displayed the newly upgraded fluid-driven thermal units that included the three-drawer/six-plate position thermal hotel that is rated to sustain sample temps at -15 ° to -20°C . The six positions offer maximum flexibility in the use of various consumables or small tube racks. (pictured on right)
The hotel's compact footprint fits with new or older versions of the CTC PAL (main visual below). A powerful, yet economical Huber Minichiller circulator provides constant uniform temperature to the hotel and adjacent PCR plate and 24-vial unit and the cooling chamber that envelopes the valve to maintain constant reproducible temperature stability to entire MéCour system.

### "You determine the time, let MéCour control the temperature"
That was our theme at this month's [ASMS conference](http://www.asms.org/conferences/annual-conference/annual-conference-homepage) where attendees stopped by to talk about the temperature control challenges they were having with their laboratory applications. Ice cubes, dry ice and cooling baths continue to be a common temperature control solution, but we all know that isn't the optimal way to treat your expensive laboratory samples and ensure quality results.

### MéCour-GERSTEL Thermal System, Part No. 80-60GL
Introducing the latest in our accurate and uniform temperature control systems: [MéCour's thermal trays](https://www.mecour.com/microplates-80-60gl/) that can be configured to integrate with a GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler MPS WorkStation or sample preparation robot, independent of the chromatography system. Sample preparation steps are easily set up for maximum flexibility and ease-of-use without compromising sample integrity due to temperature instability. The thermal trays can be designed to accommodate any consumable plate, vial or tubes and provide a temperature range between -40˚C to +200˚C. You are able to conduct specific ramping cycles all within the same MéCour Thermal Block.

We had the opportunity to exhibit at the recent [36th Annual BMS Interdivisional Analytical Research Conference (BMSIARC) in NJ](http://events.planetconnect.com/bmsiarc2010_report.php). This private show was sponsored by BMS solely for the Discovery Analytical Sciences – Mass Spec groups within BMS. It was BMS’ get-together for this group to review and discuss current technologies and new technologies and equipment offered by vendors who specialize in this area.
