Peltier+ Connected Device
Programmable heating and cooling for plate-based workflows
Deliver reliable temperature control for samples and reagents throughout your workflow—whether you’re executing protocols manually at the bench, using guided execution with Pipette+ Stand, or automating with Andrew+ Robot in OneLab Software.
- Connected control and compliance-ready traceability: fully integrated with OneLab Software to ensure secure data capture, audit trails, and regulatory compliance, enabled via Wi‑Fi or Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
- Start manual, scale to automation later: keep the same workflow logic in OneLab Software as you move from manual validation to automation—without redesigning your workflow.
- Active temperature control from 0–99 °C: rapid cooling down to 0 °C and heating up to 99 °C for temperature-sensitive steps.
- Fast ramp performance: up to 14 °C/min heating and 9 °C/min cooling.
- Two models for better temperature transfer: choose the model optimized for your plate type/workflow.
Peltier+ Connected Device
Specifications
Overview
Active temperature control inside the OneLab Software connected ecosystem
Peltier+ is a connected device family compatible with OneLab Software, providing heating and cooling for samples and reagents. OneLab Software allows remote setup and real-time temperature tracking for fewer errors and better repeatability. In OneLab Software, Peltier+ integrates into “Heat / Cool” steps, making temperature control part of workflow documentation.
Choose the model optimized for your labware
Peltier+ includes two device variants designed for common plate formats:
- 96‑PCR Peltier+ — optimized for skirted, semi‑skirted, and unskirted 96‑PCR plates.
- Microplate Peltier+ — optimized for flat‑bottom microplates commonly used in plate-based assays.
Built for automation — friendly for manual execution
Temperature-controlled steps are essential for consistent workflows. Peltier+ delivers reliable temperature control during manual method validation and integrates seamlessly into OneLab Software workflows, enabling labs to design once and scale up with Andrew+ Robot devices without reworking method logic.
When paired with Pipette+ Stand and Andrew+ Robot, Peltier+ becomes part of a powerful, standardized bench workflow. Temperature control is captured as a documented step within the same OneLab Software method used for guided pipetting and execution. Whether used manually, with Pipette+ Stand, or directly integrated with Andrew+ Robot, Peltier+ supports progressive automation — from benchtop execution to fully walkaway workflows.
Applications
- Released N-Glycan Analysis: Automates required temperature shifts for sample preparation.
- Amino Acid Derivatization: Supports sustained heat for quantitative chemical labeling.
- Automated Protein Digestion: Holds enzymes at optimal temperatures (often 37 °C) for consistent protein breakdown.
- ELISA: Provides stable heating for consistent antibody-antigen binding.
- Endotoxin Testing: Ensures thermal stability in sensitive LAL assays.
- Cell-Based Assays: Stabilizes cells and reagents during robotic pipetting.
- Chilling Before/After Extraction: Maintains sample integrity before and after processing.
- Reagent Stabilization: Prevents evaporation and preserves enzyme activity during extended automation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key benefits of Peltier+?
- Precise Active Temperature Control — Heating (up to 99 °C) and cooling (down to 0 °C) in one device, with ramp rates up to 14 °C/min (heating) and 9 °C/min (cooling). No ice buckets, external chillers, or manual monitoring.
- Connected Traceability — Every setpoint, hold time, and transition is automatically logged in OneLab Software, eliminating handwritten logs and supporting GLP/GMP audit-ready documentation.
- Reproducibility — OneLab controls temperature at the exact protocol moment — including intelligent pre-heating/pre-cooling — removing operator variability across users, runs, and sites.
- Seamless Scalability — Same OneLab protocol whether you run manually, with Pipette+, or Andrew+ Robot. Design once, scale to automation without re-validation.
Which lab scenarios are ideal for Peltier+?
- Compliance-driven workflows — Replace untracked heat blocks with a connected device that logs every temperature action automatically, giving QA and auditors the digital record they need.
- Multi-step temperature-critical protocols — Workflows like N-glycan release, protein digestion, or ELISA requiring precise temperature shifts are managed under software control with intelligent pre-conditioning.
- Manual-to-automation transition — Validate your method at the bench with Peltier+ today, then transfer the same protocol to an automated Andrew+ workflow tomorrow — no re-validation needed.
What are the traceability, compliance, and integration benefits?
