IT-121 Flexible Implantable Microprobe - Implantable in semi-solids and tissue with 21 gauge needle (supplied). Ideal for subcutaneous and cranial temperatures in small animals. Also for immersion in various solutions. Totally sheathed in chemical resistant Teflon™. Maximum Temperature 150°C . Isolated. Probe diameter .016" (21 gauge represents the needle gauge that the probe can be inserted through). Time constant 0.08 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.
PLEASE NOTE: WHEN USING FOR IMPLANTATION, the Physitemp IT-SERIES flexible probes are implantable temperature sensors designed for subcutaneous temperature measurement in research animals.Intended use: multiple general laboratory and calibration applications. Implantable and subcutaneous use is restricted to Animal Research Only. Not designed for implantation in humans or veterinary clinical practice applications.
