Product DetailsImplantable and Biocompatible: The DST centi-T temperature data logger is hermetically sealed and made from biocompatible housing (ceramic and epoxy), designed for simple animal implantation and retrieval. The unique ceramic housing guarantees biocompatibility.Applications: Ideal for studies on both free-ranging and captive animals where a detailed temperature profile is needed, including baseline measurements, immune response to infection, vaccine efficacy and safety pharmacology, and measuring physiological changes and circadian rhythm.Stress-free Measurements: Automatically measures temperature, providing comprehensive data with no disturbance to the animal.Detailed Temperature Profile: Long battery life allows for both long-term and short-term studies with intervals as short as one second. Battery life is up to 9 years at 10-minute intervals.Sampling Modes: Two modes for sampling: single interval or multiple intervals (up to 7 different intervals), useful for frequent measurements at specific periods.Memory Extension: Available with extended memory capacity, storing up to 552,000 temperature measurements.Guaranteed Accuracy and Performance: Each logger is individually calibrated and comes with a calibration certificate. Accuracy and performance are guaranteed for one year after purchase.UsageEase of Use: Designed for easy setup, implantation, data retrieval, and analysis. Supported by Mercury software and a Communication Box (required for first order).Programming: Logger is programmed via Communication Box and software, allowing user to set start time, date, and sampling interval.Multiple Measurement Intervals: Different intervals can be set for the same study, optimizing data space and battery life.Memory and Battery Calculations: Software calculates memory usage and battery consumption based on interval settings.Data Upload: Data is uploaded to software after logger retrieval, displayed in graphic and tabular form, and exportable.Reusable: Logger can be sterilized and reused as long as the battery lasts. Battery status can be checked in software.Hermetically Sealed: All Star-Oddi loggers are leak proof; battery is not replaceable.AccessoriesCommunication Box: Interface between logger and PC for starting logger and retrieving data. Includes USB cable.Mercury Software: Graphical Windows software for setup, data retrieval, and export. Free updates.ImplantationMinimally Invasive: Leadless design and small size make implantation simple and minimally invasive.Animal Suitability: Suitable for medium to large animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and bears.Sterilization: Loggers can be sterilized and reused as long as the battery lasts. Not all sterilization methods are suitable (avoid temperatures above 60°C).Key FeaturesMinimally invasive and simple to implantSmall size (19g) and long battery life – up to 9 yearsStress-free measurementsDetailed temperature profileGuaranteed accuracy and performanceTechnical SpecificationsSensor: TemperatureSize (Diameter x Length): 15mm x 46mmHousing Material: Alumina (Ceramic)Weight (in Air/in Water): 19g/12gData Resolution: 12 bitsTemperature Range: 5 to +45°C (32°F to 113°F)Temperature Resolution: 0.032°C (0.058°F)Temperature Accuracy: +/-0.1°C (0.18°F)Temperature Response Time: Time constant (63%) reached in 20 sec.Memory Type: Non-volatile EEPROMMemory Capacity: 552,000 measurementsMeasurement Interval: User specified in second(s), minute(s), or hour(s)Minimum Measurement Interval: 1 secondMultiple Intervals Option: Up to 7 different intervalsData Retention: 25 yearsClock: Real time clock.
