Precision Temperature Probes
Needle Microprobes
Fast-response needle probes for instant readings in tissue, semisolids, liquids. Also for very small specimens, powders and materials. Needle tip is sealed to ensure only stainless steel contacts specimen. Max. temp. 200°C. 5 ft. lead. Smallest microprobes give fastest reading. Short probes are easier to insert and last longer. Type #’s indicate needle gauge and needle length in cm.

IT Series. Implantable in semi-solids and tissue with needle (supplied). Also for immersion in various solutions and rectal temperatures of small animals. Totally sheathed in chemical resistant Teflon. Quite rugged. Max Temp. 150°C. Isolated. Type # designates needle gauge. (Or one gauge smaller in thin wall).
IT-23 - For ultra fast measurements and for use on micro-size specimens. Sensor lead only 0.009” dia. Tissue implantable with 23ga. needle (supplied). Rather fragile. Max. temp. 150°C. Time constant 0.005 secs. 3 ft. lead. Teflon coated. Isolated.
IT-1E - As IT-18 but sensor bead exposed. Combines the ultra-fast response of IT-23 with the Teflon sheath strength of IT-18. Time constant .005 secs. Isolated.
