Data from thermal testing of the Open Source Cryostage

Abstract

The data presented here is related to the research article “An open source cryostage and software analysis method for detection of antifreeze activity” (Buch and Ramløv, 2016) [1]. The design of the Open Source Cryostage (OSC) is tested in terms of thermal limits, thermal efficiency and electrical efficiency. This article furthermore includes an overview of the electrical circuitry and a flowchart of the software program controlling the temperature of the OSC. The thermal efficiency data is presented here as degrees per volt and maximum cooling capacity. Keywords: Antifreeze proteins, Cryostage
