Precision Temperature controller, Incubator, Sous-vide

This plug-and-play temperature controller can be used for controlling the temperature of application that needs very high precision such as incubator, aquarium and biological experiments. It can also be used for controlling the temperature of rice cooker for sous-vide cooking.  To operate, plug the heater (or lamp) to the socket of the controller on the back, drop the sensor into the container, turn on the power of controller.

The controller uses thermistor type sensor to provide much higher precision and stability than thermocouple and RTD sensor based controller. This unit can display and control temperature with 0.1 degree Celsius resolution. The maximum control temperature is 99.9 C. (Limited by the three digits LED  display, this unit can't display temperature in Fahrenheit)

Application examples:

1) Holding the temperature of an 45 litter ice cooler at 37.0 °C with a 40 watts light bulb

2) Holding the temperature of an rice cooker at 64.5 °C for making the "perfect egg".
