Fast-Responding Thermocouple Probe

This custom-designed thermocouple probe was specifically developed for colloidal nanocrystal synthesis, where hot-injection methods cause rapid temperature fluctuations in the reaction mixture. The probe features an ultra-short response time, enabling real-time temperature monitoring—crucial for reaction optimization and reproducibility.
To ensure accurate readings, the sensing tip is miniaturized, allowing full immersion in the reaction solution without affecting the system's thermal profile. The entire outer surface is encased in borosilicate glass, rendering the probe chemically inert and thermally stable, even under high-temperature and reactive conditions.
This instrument plays a vital role in fine-tuning nucleation and growth processes, making it a valuable asset in nanomaterials research.
