1. A method comprising:
circulating a medium through a container;
controlling a temperature of the medium delivered to the container;
controlling a flow rate of the medium delivered to the container;
submerging a thermistor within the medium; and
determining a power output of the thermistor while the thermistor is submerged within the medium and the medium circulates through the container; and
classifying the thermistor based on a comparison between the power output of the thermistor and a power criterion.
