Physitemp Instruments Inc.

When you must make precise temperature measurements, Physitemp can provide you with a very accurate monitor and thermocouple microprobes. Physitemp monitors have a resolution and accuracy of 0.1¢XC in the 0-50¢XC range and are traceable to NIST standards. Other competitive electronic thermometers might have 0.1¢XC resolution, but their accuracy is usually to 0.5¢XC or worse. Furthermore, all our type T clinical probes are guaranteed accurate to 0.1¢XC, due to our stringent wire standards. These are five times more accurate than competitive probes made with regular "Special Limits" wire.

In addition to our precise temperature monitoring equipment, we offer a complete line of thermoelectric heating and cooling stages for both microscopes and microtomes. Our thermal stages fit most microscopes and enable the temperature of a specimen to be maintained and regulated at any temperature between -20¢X and +100¢XC to within 0.1¢XC. We also make custom stages for special applications. Our freezing stages for microtomes offer an inexpensive solution to frozen tissue sections and fit easily onto most microtomes. Freezing starts immediately and can be maintained indefinitely.

Our neurological testing devices, the Vibratron II, vibration sensitivity tester and the NTE-2, thermal sensitivity tester were designed to measure the sensitivity of a person's fingers and toes in order to detect peripheral neuropathy non-invasively. Our neurological testing devices are being widely used in current medical applications for the detection and diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as well as in pharmaceutical research studies on Diabetes and AIDS.
