Controlling media droplet temperature in Petri dishes during manipulation remains challenging despite the use of heated surfaces. The media droplet temperature is influenced by a complex interaction of heated and non-heated surfaces, evaporation, heat transfer, radiation, dish design, and setup conditions, making surface temperature measurements alone insufficient.
Metrum Genie sensor-integrated dish probes overcome these limitations by directly measuring media droplet temperature under actual operating conditions, enabling accurate temperature control and precise calibration of heating equipment.
Measuring media droplet temperature in Petri dishes involves more than simply placing a probe in the dish. The design and characteristics of the temperature probe can influence both the measurement process and the temperature reading itself.
