Flexible Teflon microprobes are used for implantation in tissue, in spectrophotometer cuvettes, rectally in neonatal mice, in water baths, PCR thermal cyclers, etc. Also, measure animal rectal temperatures during surgical procedures and pyrogen testing or skin temperature measurement during exercise physiology studies.

Compatible with the BAT thermometer and the ATC temperature controller.

IT-1E Flexible Implantable Probe, 0.025 inch sensor diameter, 0.005 sec
  • 0.005 sec time constant
  • Isolated
  • 150°c Max. Temperature
  • 3 ft lead length
  • As IT-18 sensor except bead exposed. Combines ultra-fast reponse of IT-23 with sheath strength of IT-18.

IT-1E Flexible Implantable Microprobe - For ultra fast measurements and for use on micro-size specimens. Similar to our most popular IT-18 microprobe but the sensor bead is exposed, resulting in the same ultra-fast response time of the IT-23 but with the Teflon™ sheath strength of the IT-18. Time constant 0.005 seconds. Tissue Implantable with a 18 gauge needle (supplied). Rather fragile at tip. Coated in Teflon™. Maximum Temperature 150°C. Isolated. Probe tip diameter .011", sheath diameter .025'' . 3 foot lead.

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.

Flexible Microprobe

Applications

Designed for high accuracy on extremely small specimens such as insects, seeds, etc. Maximum insertion depth 1/8". Totally sheathed in chemical resistant Teflon.

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.
