IT-14 Flexible Implantable Microprobe - Implantable in semi-solids and tissue with 14 gauge needle (supplied). Also for immersion in various solutions. Totally sheathed in chemical resistant Teflon™. Quited rugged. Maximum Temperature 150°C . Isolated. Probe diameter .050" (14 gauge represents the needle gauge that the probe can be inserted through). Time constant 0.3 seconds.

Time Constant is defined as the time required to reach 63% of final temperature in liquid. An accurate reading is obtained when the reading stops changing, typically 5-10 time constants.

Maximum Temperature refers to intermittent use of probe. When probe is used for continuous measurements, maximum temperature should be reduced by 25% unless specified.

Details

When precise temperature measurements are required, WPI can provide you with a very accurate monitor and thermocouple microprobes. WPI monitors have both resolution and accuracy of 0.1°C in the 0-50°C range and are traceable to NIST standards, whereas, other competitive electronic thermometers have an accuracy that is usually to 0.5°C or worse. Furthermore, all our type T clinical probes are guaranteed accurate to 0.1°C, due to our stringent wire standards. These are five times more accurate than competitive probes made with regular “Special Limits” wire.

Probe Sterilization Methods

The needle microprobes and animal rectal probes are all designed to withstand sterilization by ETO gas and gluteraldehyde solution. Our flexible implantable microprobes are both ETO gas sterilizable and autoclavable.
