L-SHAPED Thermometer
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11610
The L-shaped glass thermometer is a specialized thermal monitoring instrument engineered for integration into laboratory incubators, ovens, and climate chambers. Designed for secondary and tertiary biology and chemistry laboratories, its 90-degree bend allows the sensing bulb to remain submerged in the heat zone while the scale remains horizontally visible. This configuration supports STEM curricula by ensuring precise temperature regulation for sensitive microbial cultures and chemical reactions.

Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: 90-degree L-shaped geometry.
Benefit: Solves the problem of parallax error and obstructed viewing in benchtop equipment by positioning the measurement scale horizontally outside the unit while the probe remains internal.
Feature: Annealed Borosilicate glass stem.
Benefit: Provides superior resistance to thermal expansion and mechanical stress, ensuring the instrument maintains its calibration integrity even under the high-humidity conditions of an incubator.
Feature: Permanent fused-in graduations.
Benefit: Eliminates the risk of scale fading or degradation due to exposure to cleaning agents or laboratory vapors, maintaining long-term data readability for student researchers.
Feature: High-contrast Red Spirit filling.
Benefit: Enables students to observe temperature readings from a distance without opening the incubator door, preventing the disruption of thermal equilibrium and specimen growth.
Feature: Specialized thin-bulb design.
Benefit: Enhances thermal sensitivity and reduces response time, allowing students to detect minute temperature fluctuations that could affect enzymatic or biological outcomes.
Curriculum Alignment
This instrument is precision-engineered to meet the infrastructure requirements of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) frameworks. It specifically supports benchmarks for "Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes," providing the thermal stability required for students to conduct validated investigations into microbial respiration, cellular growth, and thermodynamics.
