What is the difference between a Clinical thermometer and laboratory thermometer?

A clinical thermometer is designed for measuring human body temperature and typically has a narrower range of measurement (e.g., 35-42 degrees Celsius). A laboratory thermometer is more versatile and can be used for various scientific applications due to its wider temperature range and higher precision. Additionally, laboratory thermometers are often made of a more durable material such as borosilicate glass.


What is the difference between clinical thermometer and laboratory thermometer?

Laboratory thermometers can measure wide variety of temperature, whereas a clinical thermometer has a range between 95 to 105 Fahrenheit. Clinical thermometers are made to be used in a hospital to accurately determinebody temperature. They are often digital. Lab thermometers are made of metal or glass and usually don't give you an accurate reading as much as a "ball park". Clinical thermometer may have mercury but lab thermometers usually have alcohol .
