Digital Thermometers

A digital thermometer uses an electronic sensor to give an instant, precise temperature reading on an LCD screen, removing the need to read a liquid column against a printed scale.

What is a digital thermometer?

A digital thermometer uses an electronic sensor to give an instant, precise temperature reading on an LCD screen, removing the need to read a liquid column against a printed scale. Pen-type models take spot readings via a metal probe, while thermo-hygrometers monitor temperature and humidity continuously.

SmartLabs stocks waterproof pen-type digital thermometers and wall-mounted thermo-hygrometers, giving you fast, accurate readings for spot checks or ongoing monitoring.

Common uses of digital thermometers in the lab

Where an instant digital reading speeds up temperature checks.

  • A digital probe thermometer standing in a beaker of water

    Instant Readings

    A pen-type digital thermometer gives a fast, precise numeric reading the moment its probe touches the liquid.

  • A wall mounted digital thermo-hygrometer showing temperature and humidity

    Storage Monitoring

    A wall-mounted thermo-hygrometer tracks temperature and humidity continuously in a storage room or cupboard.

  • Close view of a waterproof digital thermometer showing its reading

    Clear LCD Display

    A bright LCD screen shows the exact reading in large digits, easier to read at a glance than a liquid column.

  • A probe thermometer and a digital hygrometer unit side by side

    Pen vs Wall-Mounted

    A pen-type thermometer suits quick spot checks, while a wall-mounted thermo-hygrometer suits continuous monitoring.
