Why we can't use laboratory thermometer to measuring human body temperature

Answered by admin @



The laboratory thermometer can not be used to measure the temperature of a human body as range of thermometer is high.

  • The standard human body temperature is 37°C while laboratory thermometer temperature range is from -10°C to 110°C which is high
  • A clinical thermometer is suitable to measure the temperature of humans as it has a range from 35 C to 42°C.
  • Moreover, if you use the lab thermometer and the bulb is taken out of the mouth, the mercury starts falling.
