This is because on instruments, there might be harmful bacteria. These (as do any organism) function by having enzymes so catalyze critical reactions in a cell. When these enzymes (and all other proteins) reach a certain temperature, they are denatured (in other words, rendered useless). Without these enzymes, the bacteria dies and the instruments are now safe to use again (and won't infect anybody else).

Can the laboratory thermometer be used to measure the temperature of volcanic lava which has temperatures ranging from about 600C to 1200C?

No, a laboratory thermometer typically measures temperatures up to around 250-300°C. To measure the temperature of volcanic lava (600-1200°C), specialized high-temperature instruments such as infrared pyrometers or thermocouples are typically used.
