The introduction of our [wide range of thermal units](https://www.mecour.com/thermal-products) 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](https://www.mecour.com/reagent-media-bottles) as well as the [low temp systems](https://www.mecour.com/ultra-low-temp-solutions) required for BioBanking procedures and cell prep and storage applications, requiring temperature management from 0°C down to -95°C.  [Read More](https://www.mecour.com/blog/temperature-control-highlights-from-analytica) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.mecour.com/blog/temperature-control-highlights-from-analytica#comments-listing) Tags: [reagent bottles](https://www.mecour.com/blog/topic/reagent-bottles), [Temperature Control](https://www.mecour.com/blog/topic/temperature-control), [Controlled Freezing & Thawing](https://www.mecour.com/blog/topic/controlled-freezing-thawing), [temperature control systems](https://www.mecour.com/blog/topic/temperature-control-systems), [thermal inserts](https://www.mecour.com/blog/topic/thermal-inserts) ## [One Size Fits All vs. Plate Specific Thermal Inserts](https://www.mecour.com/blog/bid/114101/One-Size-Fits-All-vs-Plate-Specific-Thermal-Inserts) Posted by [Ken Linehan](https://www.mecour.com/blog/author/ken-linehan) [![](https://www.mecour.com/hs-fs/file-440879752-jpg/images/flexibility.jpg) ](https://www.mecour.com/blog/bid/114101/One-Size-Fits-All-vs-Plate-Specific-Thermal-Inserts) We have been producing [Thermal Inserts](https://www.mecour.com/thermal-inserts/) longer than anyone else, dating as far back as 1999 and demand-driven by our customers. It was simple - place any type of microplate on any type of thermal surface at any temperature, and you had a problem. There is an air gap on all plates that exists under the plate from the bottom of the wells or cap to skirt or perimeter of the plate's base. The problem is that air does not act as a very good thermal transfer medium.
