The m3300 OEM biomedical Fluoroptic thermometer is designed for rigorous medical applications requiring precise and repeatable temperature measurements.

The m3300 OEM biomedical Fluoroptic thermometer is designed for rigorous medical applications requiring precise and repeatable temperature measurements.

Immune to EMI, RF and microwave radiation, the m3300 offers fibre-optic sensors that are unaffected by high magnetic fields found in the MRI environment.

With over 20 years experience providing temperature measurement solutions to the medical research community, Luxtron's m3300 is the next generation version of the highly successful 3200 Series OEM Fluoroptic thermometer.

Designed and tested to operate in a 0.5T environment, the m3300 is ideally suited for monitoring implant, skin, and body temperature during MRI procedures, cancer therapies, and tissue temperature during RF and microwave ablation.

It can also be used for brain, spine and cardiovascular tissue temperature measurement during medical research.

Based on Luxtron's unique and patented Fluoroptic (FOT) technology, the m3300 offers chemically inert sensors that can survive sterilisation and make direct contact with body tissue.

The inherently small diameter of the fibres makes them ideally suited for highly localised measurements, while being minimally invasive.

The m3300 supports analogue (0 to 10V) and PC serial communication outputs.

The instrument includes an RS232 cable for connection to a PC COM port.

Data can be logged with any terminal program or with Luxtron's optional TrueTemp graphing and data acquisition software.

Luxtron's patented Fluoroptic technology features a fibre-optic-based probe with a temperature-sensitive phosphorescent material.

These fibre-optic probes are immune to RF, microwaves and high magnetic fields enabling highly accurate and precise measurements previously unattainable with conventional sensors like thermistors, thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors.
