Doubled memory size in our tiny temperature logger

The world's smallest animal implantable temperature logger, our DST nano-T, only 1.3g in weight and 17mm in length, has now twice the memory size. The upgrade enables higher frequency sampling of data over longer period of time. Memory fills after 60 days sampling every minute and 450 days sampling every 10 minutes. It now stores 87,166 measurements. Battery life is up to 14 months and fastest possible measurement interval is 1 second.

The small logger is ideal for a variety of studies, long term and short term, where a detailed temperature profile is needed, on both wild and captive animals on land and in water.

Studies in wild and captive animals applicable include: baseline measurements, measuring immune response to infection, testing vaccine efficacy and safety pharmacology, and measuring physiological changes and circadian rhythm. The logger is designed for simple implantation and retrieval.

For studies in water, the logger is also ideal for smolt tagging, in i.e. physiological studies, recording migration behaviour such as thermal preference observation, marine habitat-use, and ocean entry timing.
