Automatic temperature controller for maintaining body temperature in experimental animals.
A system for autoregulation of body temperature of large and small animals is described. The device uses the IC AD590 as a temperature transducer. It operates on the basis of continuous regulation of the heating current, and does not emit transients which interfere with electrical recordings. A panel meter shows either the rectal temperature of the animal or the current flow to the blanket.
