Vernier’s wide-range temperature probe uses RTD (Resistance Temperature Detection) technology to establish a ±0.5°C accuracy, as well as excellent stability and repeatability. Each unit is individually calibrated, and the calibration is stored on a smart chip in the sensor. It is designed to be used as you would use a thermometer for experiments in organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, biology, Earth science, and environmental science.

Wide-Range Temperature Probe
$119.00
This rugged temperature probe features a wide temperature range, from –20 to 330°C. The high upper limit of the sensor allows for melting point determinations of most organic compounds.
Due to recent changes in U.S. trade policy, new tariffs are being implemented that impact our products. This means a surcharge of 5% will be applied to orders received starting May 12th, with the exception of software and books. Learn more.
