RET-3 ISO Rectal Probe for Mice (Isolated)
Ideal for rectal temperatures in mice to measure core temperature. Designed so that the thermocouple sensor is electrically isolated from the metal sheath to reduce electrical interference with other sensors. Accurate to 0.1°C

Product Features
- Core body temperature of mice
- Accuracy of ±0.1°C
- Fast intermittent measurements
The RET-3 ISO rectal probe for mice has all the same features of the standard RET-3:
- Smooth ball tip. Stainless steel shaft – 3/4” long, .028” diameter. Tip diameter .065”, 5 foot lead length. Time constant 0.5 seconds, maximum temperature 125°C
Plus:
- An isolated sensor (can be used with monitoring equipment where electrical interference from other electrodes may be present).
- Reinforced strain relief for applications where probe is in more frequent use.
Time Constant is defined as the time required to reach 63% of final temperature in liquid. An accurate reading is obtained when the reading stops changing, typically 5-10 time constants.
Maximum Temperature refers to intermittent use of probe. When probe is used for continuous measurements, maximum temperature should be reduced by 25% unless specified.
