Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Stainless steel immersion probe.
Benefit: Resists oxidation and chemical degradation when submerged in common laboratory reagents like dilute Hydrochloric Acid, ensuring instrument longevity in high-use settings.
Feature: Data Hold and Maximum/Minimum (Max/Min) memory.
Benefit: Enables students to capture and freeze peak thermal readings during volatile reactions, solving the problem of data loss during rapid exothermic or endothermic transitions.
Feature: Instantaneous digital LCD readout.
Benefit: Eliminates parallax error and subjective interpretation associated with analog scales, allowing students to focus on quantitative analysis rather than measurement mechanics.
Feature: Integrated Celsius and Fahrenheit toggle.
Benefit: Facilitates student mastery of international scientific units and supports diverse curriculum requirements for thermal measurement conversion and data standardization.
Feature: Integrated Auto-Power Off functionality.
Benefit: Maximizes battery life and operational readiness for consecutive laboratory rotations, reducing the logistical burden of frequent maintenance for institutional staff.
Curriculum Alignment
This instrument is precision-engineered to meet the infrastructure requirements of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Physical Sciences and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) benchmarks for laboratory technology. It specifically supports student performance in measuring heat capacity, observing boiling point elevation, and monitoring biological incubation cycles.
