Single-Use Temperature Sensor
Single-Use Applications
Our PendoTECH temperature sensors are cost-effective enough for single-use applications and robust enough for re-use, while also being compatible with gamma irradiation.
Optional Sensor Monitor
Along with the temperature sensors, there is a handheld monitor with an LCD display and transmitters that facilitate integration to control systems.
Overview
PendoTECH’s Single-Use Temperature Sensors enable a highly accurate temperature measurement. They are extremely sensitive to temperature changes in critical in-line bioprocess applications. Accuracy is verified during manufacturing so no calibration is required. The sensors are available with either a hose barb fitting, which is engineered to prevent pressure drops and dead-legs, or a luer fitting for lab scale development applications. Cost-effective enough for single-use applications and robust enough for re-use and compatible with gamma irradiation. There is a handheld monitor with an LCD display and transmitters that phacilitate integration to control systems.
