Temperature Probes
A variety of temperature probes available for implantation in tissue,
use in spectrophotometer cuvettes, rectally in neonatal mice, during
surgical procedures, and much more. For more details when selecting an appropriate temperature probe, see
 Choosing a Temperature Probe.
NEEDLE MICROPROBES
Fast-response needle probes for instant readings in tissue, semisolids, liquids, very small specimens, powders and materials. Needle tip is sealed to ensure only stainless steel contacts specimen.
