Abstract
A system for heating a selected section of a conductive ribbon comprises a non-conductive base and conducting pads. Further, the system comprises a variable voltage power supply electrically coupled to the conducting pads and a sensor. A processor is programmed to enable the variable power supply to produce a voltage signal across the conducting pads to cause the selected section, which includes a biological sample and is clamped to the non-conductive base via the conducting pads, to heat up. The processor receives, from the sensor, an electrical measurement. A correction for the voltage signal is computed based on the measurement to achieve a desired temperature, wherein the desired temperature is for processing the biological sample and the correction accounts for a variance in the selected section. The applied voltage signal is adjusted based upon the correction to regulate the selected section of at the desired temperature for a time.
