Probe
The IVF Thermometer is supplied with a miniature thermocouple
which is ideally suited for temperature measurement in small volumes
of liquid. Also available from RI is a robust probe suitable for larger
volumes of liquid, and a cryo-probe optimised for cryopreservation
temperatures.
Connect the probe to the socket at the top of the meter and tighten
the screw collar. Remove the white plastic sleeve from the probe tip
before use, but keep the sleeve to protect the probe when it is not
being used. Hold the sleeve by the twisted section at the end. Do
not grasp the main part of the sleeve as the delicate probe inside
could be damaged.
Note:
The tip of the probe is made with very thin wires. Always
handle the probe gently to minimise the risk of breakage.
