Our highly affordable temperature sensors provide unparalleled convenience during any experiment by eliminating the need for manually recorded temperature data. This page contains a comparison chart for PASCO temperature sensors to help you discover what’s possible when you use a modern thermometer.

PASCO Sensor	PASCO Interface	Purpose
ScienceWorkshop Temperature Sensor	550/850 interfaces or legacy 500/750 interfaces	Higher sample rates: maximum depends on the probe General purpose for water/air from freezing to boiling
PASPORT Temperature Sensor	Any PASPORT interface, 550, or 850	Maximum sample rate 10 Hz General purpose for water/air from freezing to boiling
ScienceWorkshop Quad Temperature Sensor	Any PASPORT interface, 550, or 850	Use for measuring up to four temperatures at once (different depths in water as it is cooled to freezing)
Wireless Temperature	No Interface Required	Bluetooth 4.0 required Does not have interchangeable probes General purpose for water/air from freezing to boiling

Temperature probes available for the above sensors:

PASCO Sensor	PASCO Interface
Fast Response Temperature Probe	Small mass changes temperature quickly For calorimetry
Surface Temperature Probe	Attaches to skin or surfaces
Stainless Steel Probe	Sturdy for mixing -35°C to +135°C More mass means it changes temperature more slowly
Non-Contact Temperature: Any PASPORT interface, 550, or 850	-70°C to 380°C Measure radiation from surfaces without touching
Type-K Temperature: Any PASPORT interface, 550, or 850	-200°C to +1,000°C Measure temperature of liquid nitrogen and flames
