Control Company used the Fisher Scientific show to exhibit their Traceable Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer. Key features include: accurately monitors temperatures in freezers, water baths, heating blocks, incubators, and refrigerators with this enclosed temperature-buffered sensor; bottle insulates sensor from rapid temperature changes when refrigerator door is opened; patented unit fulfils all CDC thermometer and vaccine thermometer requirements; triple display simultaneously shows high, low, and current temperatures; and min/max monitors high/low readings overnight, on weekends, or for any time period - a significant advantage over current reading-only glass thermometers. Range is –58 to 158°F and –50 to 70°C with a resolution of 1° and accuracy of ±1°C.
Alarm feature provides alert when temperature rises above or falls below a set point. Alarm is programmable in 1° increments. Visual and audible signals continue even if temperature returns to non-alarm range. Three-metre micro-cable permits refrigerator doors to close on it.
Solid-state probe eliminates mercury contamination in refrigerators. Probe is sealed in a miniature bottle (25.4 x 64 mm) filled with nontoxic glycol. Solution is GRAS (generally recognised as safe) by the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Eliminates concerns about incidental contact with food or drinking water.
To assure accuracy an individually serial-numbered Traceable® Certificate is provided from an ISO 17025 calibration laboratory accredited by A2LA (A2LA and UKAS calibration certificates are all mutually recognised).
It indicates traceability to standards provided by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). High-impact, chemical-resistant ABS plastic case is 70 x 108 x 19mm. Weight is 114g. Supplied with Traceable® Certificate, flip-open stand for lab bench, slot for wall mounting, and Velcro® and magnetic strips to attach bottle unit to any surface.
