Setting the analysis temperature

The SPR signal is sensitive to changes in temperature. It is important that a constant
temperature is maintained at the sensor chip surface throughout the run. The detection
area housing the sensor chip is maintained at a precisely controlled temperature.
The analysis temperature is fixed at 25°C in the standard instrument. With the optional
Biacore X100 Plus Package, the analysis temperature can be set to 4°C to 40°C (maximum
10°C below ambient temperature).
The analysis temperature is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
Unstable temperature is indicated by
