Sounds like you need a Platinum RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) unit of some kind. Don't be scared by the word Platinum - these need not be terribly expensive, and are widely used in industry. These are industrial: .<https://www.omega.com/en-us/resources/rtd-hub> .<https://www.omega.com/en-us/sensors-and-sensing-equipment/temperature/sensors/rtd-sensors/p/5RTD-F3100> Many bench DMMs have a RTD input.
