This sensor is extremely responsive as it features an exposed thermistor. It is ideal for determining changes in skin temperature, or for measuring air temperature in tight spaces.

Activities

Biology:

• Skin surface temperatures e.g body mapping, changes due to exercise.

Chemistry: 

• Universal gas law

The thermistor wires of this sensor are covered by highly flexible heat-shrink tubing so can be attached to the skin for physiology experiments.

The fast response temperature sensor is NOT recommended for use with laboratory chemicals, nor should it be placed in a direct flame or on a hot plate.
