This year we made our first appearance at Analytica in Munich, Germany, and it was a great success! The introduction of our wide range of thermal units that provide stable, constant temperature management was well received with both curiosity for first time viewers, like our youngest booth visitor on the left, as well as from the majority of our visitors. There was relief that such systems do exist to resolve their erratic and unreliable temperature control problems encountered when trying to stabilize sample temperature. The most popular units seemed to be the Reagent/Media Bottles as well as the low temp systems required for BioBanking procedures and cell prep and storage applications, requiring temperature management from 0°C down to -95°C.

MéCour has been at it for 14+ years now. 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 connect to MéCour Thermal Blocks in the exact same manner. The system technically operates in the same manner as well. No matter what you call them

Our latest "Odd Duck" thermal control solution consists of twin, three liter bottles maintained at a five-degree pitch to allow for maximum extraction of valuable reagents. The thermal control system is maintained at 4°C with complete uniform temperature distributed to both bottles.

As the Fall LRIG vendor show approaches on 9/19/11 in Cambridge, MA once again at the Boston Marriott Cambridge, we look back at the past 8-9 years MéCour has participated in this interesting and ever changing one-day show. Notable changes have definitely been not only in scale-up in LH/HTS, but the endless and “never ceases to amaze me” applications the end-users require temperature control for but don’t know or simply can’t find a solution to assist them.

MéCour visited Beijing, China for the first time to further establish a new relationship with Beijing SMS Instruments & Equipment Co., Ltd, who is also Huber’s (German circulator manufacturer and partner to MéCour) distributor for China. Excellent and productive week-long visit that included staff presentations, training and multiple customer and university site visits to review a number of different applications.

Along with debating and establishing the correct and viable Low Temp for proper thermal control (cooling/freezing) of samples -65°C or -85°C (and anything in between or prior to those temperature settings), questions always come up regarding the use of freezers or incubators to properly do the job versus the MéCour way.

I get phone calls every day and talk to people at events about their temperature control methods and challenges. Whether they are working with chemical, immunological or biological assays or prepping and storing cells under ultra-low temperatures, the result is always the same–their conventional temperature control methods are not as effective as they want them to be.
