Tokai Hit TPI-UNIX Microscope Stage Warmer – Embryology
Read the Edited Video Transcript for ‘Tokai Hit TPI-UNIX Microscope Stage Warmer – Embryology’
Hey, this is Chad with Munday Scientific and Microscope Marketplace. Today, we’re going to show you something a little different.
We have a Tokai Hit TPI Unix heated stage—the “UNIX” stands for Universal. This stage is primarily used in embryology applications, and today we’ll walk through its features and setup.
Michael is going to come in and help us demonstrate everything.
Application and Microscope Setup
We currently have this heated stage mounted on an Olympus SZX16 stereo microscope, which is commonly used in:
- IVF clinics
- Embryology labs
- Embryo manipulation workflows
While the microscope itself is excellent for this application, today the focus is on the Tokai Hit heated stage.
Universal Design and Working Space
One of the biggest advantages of the TPI Unix is its universal compatibility.
- It can be used on most illuminated microscope bases
- It is designed to fit a variety of configurations commonly found in embryology setups
The stage provides ample working space, which is essential for delicate procedures such as embryo handling.
In many IVF setups, you’ll have a mirrored base beneath the stage. This allows users to:
- View specimens from different angles
- Improve visibility during manipulation
Adjustable Leveling System
The heated stage includes adjustable leveling feet, which serve two important purposes:
Leveling the Specimen
If your specimen surface is not perfectly flat, you can adjust the feet to achieve a perfectly level working area.
Height Adjustment
The feet can also be extended to:
- Increase the height of the stage
- Adapt the stage to different microscope bases
This makes it easy to transfer the stage between microscopes within a lab.
Controller and Operation
The controller unit is simple and user-friendly.
Powering On
When you power the unit on, it displays a startup message (“Hello”).
Adjusting Temperature
- Use the control buttons to increase or decrease the temperature
- After adjusting, the system will recalibrate automatically
- You will see the temperature reading begin to change as it stabilizes
This allows for precise temperature control, which is critical in embryology work.
Calibration and Probe
The system includes a calibration probe and detailed instructions.
Calibration Process
- Plug the probe into the designated port
- Follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual
- Verify that the stage temperature matches your desired setting
The included manual is clear and thorough, making calibration straightforward.
Product Quality and Benefits
The Tokai Hit TPI Unix is a high-quality, modern solution for heated stage applications.
Compared to older systems, it offers:
- Improved temperature control
- Better usability
- Universal compatibility
- Reliable performance with warranty support
Tokai Hit has really set the standard with this product.
Final Thoughts
This is an excellent heated stage for anyone working in:
- Embryology
- IVF clinics
- Precision biological applications
Its flexibility, ease of use, and reliability make it a top-tier choice.
