Temperature Pods

Thermocouple probes or transducers can be used with ADInstruments Temperature Pods to measure general temperature in the range of 0 to 50°C.

Thermocouple Probes compatible with Temperature Pods:

• General Purpose Thermocouple Probe
• T-type Implantable Thermocouple Probe (0.6 mm)
• T-type Ultra Fast Thermocouple Probe (IT-23)
• Rectal Probe for Rats
• Rectal Probe for Mice
• T-type Implantable Thermocouple Probe (0.4 mm)

Transducers compatible with the Thermistor Pod include:

• Skin Temperature Probe (2 m)
• Nasal Temperature Probe
• Thermistor Temperature Sensor

Signal conditioners from ADInstruments are incompatible with other data acquisition systems and only work with PowerLab data acquisition devices.

Configurations

T-type Pod

ML312

Appropriate for general temperature readings using T-type thermocouples in the 0 to 50 °C range.

Thermistor Pod

ML309

Ideal for biological measures like the detection of respiration and the measurement of skin and nose temperatures between 5 and 45 degrees.

Features

• Thermocouple voltage signal is amplified to produce 10 mV/°C at 25 °C (T-type) and 50 mV/°C between 5 °C and 50 °C (Thermistor).
• Filtering to lower noise bandwidth enables monitoring of swift temperature transients. (T-type Pod filters by a 2 pole 10 Hz Butterworth filter, Thermistor Pod filters by a 3-pole 10Hz low-pass filter).
• The input connector temperature is directly measured for the T-type Pod's Ice Point Reference adjustment.
• A switchable offset circuit in the Thermistor Pod offers a delta temperature option for measuring relative temperature.
