DescriptionThe Kaye ValProbe RT rigid-sensor data logger is a temperature monitoring device for validation and process control in sterile and temperature-controlled environments. It integrates a precision platinum RTD sensor with a rigid probe design to measure from -85°C to +140°C and is engineered for applications such as sterilizer qualification, stability chambers and lyophilization processes.
Key features- Measurement range (complete logger): -85°C to 140°C
- Single precision RTD sensor, rigid probe
- Probe lengths available: 1.5, 3, 6, 9 in (38, 76, 152, 229 mm)
- Probe tip diameter: 3 mm (0.118 in)
- Operator-programmable sampling starting at 1 second; up to 100,000 data points stored
- Antenna diversity for robust RF communications
Applications- Steam sterilizer validation
- Dry heat sterilizer monitoring
- Steam-in-place (SIP) process control
- Water cascade / autoclave qualification
- Incubator and stability chamber monitoring
- Freezers and cold-chain validation
- Freeze-drying / lyophilization process monitoring
- Vessel and bioprocess temperature mapping
