Kathyang Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 We bought a thermometer with the wire probe. We insert it into one of the gel wells and place it in the workstation. AuntiS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avid1234 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I know of another hospital that just documents that the temperature indicator on the device was acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digi-Sense® Traceable® Remote-Monitoring Thermocouple Thermometers with Calibration Just curious, do you (or do you plan to) do calibration of this thermometer in house, send it out to be performed, or replace the equipment when the cal expires?

AuntiS Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi! We use a traceable thermometer with a probe placed in a gel card well, too. https://ca.vwr.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?product_id=4556196 We replace it when the certification expires. sandra Lucky Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Replacing with the cal expires seems extremely wasteful. Although it's probably good for whoever's turn it is to get a new thermometer for their home chest freezer or what not. We have a company that comes in every six months and checks out all of our pipettes and thermometers and maintains various things like microscopes. It's quite nice.

I used to have our thermometers checked in the same way. Then I discovered that the charge for that was actually more than buying new thermometers. It does seem wasteful, but it makes better financial sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
