    Digital displays provide Corning Life Sciences
customers with outstanding clarity, functionality, and
brightness through easy-to-read LED indicated temperature
and stir speed settings. The new stir and heat displays
allow for specific settings that enable labs to establish
routine protocols and help scientists to be more precise in
their experiments. Corning's new temperature controller
insures precision temperature accuracy of the liquid as
opposed to the temperature of the plate.

ways to enhance our leading products with new and
innovative technologies to best help our customers improve
their lab experience but also enhance the quality and
accuracy of their research," said Jill Veilleux,

recognized the need to introduce a digital display feature
and temperature controller to ensure a safer environment
for easy, repeatable and accurate lab testing."
