What is the ThermoStar Homeothermic Monitoring System?

The ThermoStar Homeothermic Monitoring System is a dual-channel temperature controller designed to maintain stable core body temperature in small laboratory animals during surgery and experimental procedures. A closed-loop feedback system continuously monitors rectal probe temperature and automatically adjusts the silica gel heating pad to keep the animal at a set temperature — preventing hypothermia-induced experimental variability during extended anesthesia or surgery. The system features a 4.3-inch color LCD touchscreen that displays real-time temperature, heating state, and alarm status for two fully independent channels, allowing two animals to be supported simultaneously.

Key Features

• Dual-Channel Independent Operation: Two fully independent channels allow two animals to be heated simultaneously, each with its own heating pad, rectal probe, set temperature, and alarm status — ideal for high-throughput surgical workflows.
• 4.3-inch Color LCD Touchscreen: Displays probe temperature, pad temperature, heating state, running state, and fault warnings for both channels in real time, with intuitive one-button operation and Celsius/Fahrenheit switching.
• Precise Temperature Range 20–45°C: Fine-grained thermoregulation with 0.1°C resolution enables accurate body temperature maintenance across a wide set range, critical for maintaining stable physiology during long procedures.
• Double Safety Protection: Independent circuit control for each channel monitors both the heating pad and the rectal probe simultaneously. Configurable alarms for high/low temperature limits (±1°C), maximum temperature (50°C), and probe or pad disconnection protect the animal and prevent equipment damage.
• High-Sensitivity Rectal Probe: The 1.5 mm diameter, 30 mm rod probe (cable length 150 cm) provides fast, accurate core body temperature measurement with minimal animal disturbance during surgery.
• Three Heating Pad Sizes: Silica gel pads in 12.0 × 20.5 cm (Cat. 69023), 9.0 × 17.0 cm (Cat. 69024), and 7.0 × 10.0 cm (Cat. 69025) accommodate different animal sizes and experimental platforms; high-temperature-resistant and easy to clean.
• Universal Power Supply: 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz — compatible with laboratory environments worldwide.
