DescriptionThe X2534 ValProbe surface temperature logger (Kaye) provides precision wireless measurement for freeze dryer shelf and surface temperature monitoring across an extended range from -85°C to 140°C. The embedded platinum RTD and compact surface design deliver high measurement accuracy, stability and fast thermal response while minimizing power consumption to extend battery life in very low-temperature environments. The logger is compatible with the ValProbe family of loggers, readers and Kaye software, allowing easy on-site verification against traditional IRTD and CTR-80 low-temperature bath and consistent reporting using the Kaye Report Wizard. The ValProbe system supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records/signatures, complies with DIN ISO 17665 for saturated steam sterilization and is intended to support GMP requirements.
