Regulating Temperature in the Lab: Applying Heat

2023
Although many experimental assays are performed at room temperature (RT; ~20-25°C), it is not uncommon for experiments, or parts of experiments, to require some type of temperature regulation. This video discusses the different reasons for and temperatures at which a scientist may want to “keep things warm”. For example, sometime, cells need to be cultured in an environment close to body temperature (~37°C), protein structure needs to be modified (>56°C), or reagents and solutions need to...

2023
Preservation of laboratory samples, specimens, and reagents using extreme cold is routinely performed in biomedical research labs. This video will discuss some of the methods for keeping laboratory samples cold and will explain the correct cooling method to use for each experimental requirement. For example, cooling agents, such as ice and dry ice, are typically used when keeping samples cold during experiments. This video discusses the physical properties of the most commonly used cooling...

Here we describe a protocol for measuring and analyzing temperature responses in the olfactory bulb of Xenopus laevis. Olfactory receptor neurons and mitral cells are differentially stained, after which calcium changes are recorded, reflecting a sensitivity of some neural networks in the bulb to temperature drops induced at the nose.

Traditional thermogradient tables create a range of temperatures across the surface. Welding gussets perpendicular to the surface of a thermogradient table will control temperature in depth increasing possible research applications.
FAQs
Interpretation depends on the pattern of temperature over time and the physiological context surrounding each measurement. Clinicians consider whether heat production or heat loss may have changed, as well as environmental conditions and responses such as sweating or shivering. This broader assessment helps separate a departure from thermal balance from a single reading considered without context.
Sweating and shivering provide information about the body's response to thermal stress. Sweating can indicate an effort to lose heat, whereas shivering can signal an effort to generate or conserve heat. Considering these responses alongside temperature readings helps clinicians evaluate thermoregulation more fully and recognize when observed temperature changes may reflect impaired physiological control.
Continuous electronic sensors show how temperature changes over time rather than relying only on separate measurements. This ongoing record can improve patient surveillance and reveal patterns associated with disease or therapy. It is especially useful when thermal stability may change during observation, because clinicians can relate evolving readings to other physiological responses and treatment decisions.
Core and surface measurements provide different monitoring options within the same assessment. Comparing or selecting between them can help clinicians follow the temperature variable most relevant to the patient’s condition and monitoring purpose. The resulting readings still require interpretation with environmental conditions, heat exchange, and responses such as sweating or shivering rather than being viewed in isolation.
A basic workflow includes selecting a thermometer or continuous electronic sensor, measuring core or surface temperature, and tracking readings over time when ongoing observation is needed. Clinicians then interpret the results with heat production, heat loss, environmental conditions, and visible responses. The assessment can support recognition of thermal disturbance and decisions about warming or cooling.
In medicine, the monitoring process helps identify fever, hypothermia, infection-related temperature changes, anesthesia-related changes, and impaired thermoregulation. Continuous records may clarify how a disease or therapy affects thermal stability. Clinicians can use these findings to guide warming, cooling, or other treatment decisions while maintaining closer surveillance of the patient’s changing thermal state.
