Combined with the Intelligent RTD (IRTD) and ValProbe software, the CTR–40 provides prestudy and post-study verifications, as well as ValProbe temperature sensor calibration. Kaye temperature references are designed for easy operation while delivering the highest level of temperature stability possible. These stable uniform heat sources combine rapid heat-up and cooldown with large sensor capacity to minimize overall calibration time. Multiple calibration set points are programmed via the easy-to-use operator panel and displayed (set point or well temperature) to 0.01 degree accuracy. These references provide fully automated sensor calibration when used with Kaye’s Validator® 2000 and traceable IRTD temperature standard. The advanced design combines excellent temperature stability and uniformity with a broad temperature range –40°C to 150°C to address most ValProbe applications. The generous nine liter tank and specially designed ValProbe immersion basket accommodate up to eight ValProbe loggers, making calibration or verification a quick and easy process. HTR and LTR Series Dry Wells The portable tabletop design easily fits onto a benchtop without consuming precious space. An optional floor cart, with locking casters, raises the unit to a convenient operating height and allows easy transport within your facility. The HTR and LTR Series dry wells are specifically designed for calibrating sensors used for process validation. These are the most advanced reference units on the market, featuring fast heat-up and cooldown, large well capacity to accommodate 18 to 24 thermocouples, and they use no messy oils or fluids. Intelligent RTD Standard The HTR 400 is ideal for high-temperature applications such as autoclaves, dry heat ovens and sterilizer tunnels. The LTR models offer low-temperature performance for applications including freezers, cold rooms, incubators and autoclaves. The LTR model selection should be based on the application’s lowtemperature point. The IRTD Temperature Standard (IRTD 400) is a National Industry of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable instrument calibrated from –195°C to 420°C with 0.025°C accuracy over the entire range. This completely self-contained measurement system serves as the secondary standard providing traceability for ValProbe calibration or verification. By interfacing with the ValProbe software, the IRTD 400 eliminates the potential for human error, ensuring accurate and traceable measurements.

CTR–80 Cryo Temperature Bath Operating from –80°C to 30°C, the CTR delivers fast response, high stability, and automated sensor calibration for the most severe cold-temperature applications. A generous 3.7 liter tank is heated and cooled quickly and quietly by a two-stage refrigeration system (R507 and R508B). The CTR–80 is the ideal unit for calibrating temperature sensors used in freeze dryer, freezer, and cryo unit validation.
