Designed for use in situations in which low thermal mass or flexibility is required. The Go Direct® Surface Temperature Sensor connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB to your device. This sensor has an exposed thermistor that results in an extremely rapid response time, making it perfect for use in air and water.

The Go Direct® Surface Temperature Sensor can be used in a variety of experiments:

• Investigate the effect of temperature on solar panel output
• Explore passive solar heating or solar collectors
• Examine the warming function of nasal passageways
• Discover the effect of vascularity on skin temperature recovery

Product Features
Rechargeable Battery—Ready When You Are
The robust rechargeable battery offers long battery life and provides always-ready operation when using the sensor wirelessly. Monitor battery life directly from the award-winning Vernier Graphical Analysis® app, as well as the LabQuest® 3 device.
