The 35150 can be used as a conventional HOT PLATE, to carry out a rapid precise screening of narcotic type analgesic drugs according to the well known Hot Plate Test devised by N.B. Eddy and D. Leinbach.
As a COLD PLATE; the Cold Plate Test is useful in studying cold receptors and cold allodynia, a phenomenon very frequently observed in chronic pain on humans.
The lid reduces humidity condensation on the plate at low temperatures. Two working modes allow for testing at fixed temperature or at increasing/decreasing temperature (RAMP).
