Acofar Thermometer with Galinstan

The Acofar Galinstan thermometer is an instrument in the form of a transparent glass rod with a numerical scale designed to measure body temperature, either in the armpit, rectum or mouth to determine whether a person has a fever. It measures a body temperature range of 35°C to 42°C (95°F to 107.6°F).

This Acofar thermometer is free of toxic substances such as mercury because it contains galinstan, a soft alloy of gallium, indium and tin that changes colour as temperatures change. Galinstan is non-toxic, environmentally friendly and does not pose any health risks.

Acofar's Galinstan thermometer is easy to handle, easy to clean and provides a reliable, accurate and safe measurement. It is also hypoallergenic, practical, economical and durable.

The Acofar thermometer with Galinstan is suitable for measuring body temperature in the armpit, rectum or mouth in both children and adults.

1. Take the Acofar thermometer with Galinstan by the upper end.
2. Before taking the temperature, check that the column of liquid is below 36 °C. If it does not go down, pre-warm the thermometer by placing it under the armpit for 30 seconds and then shake it repeatedly from the upper end.
3. Place the thermometer on the desired area of the body (armpit, rectum or mouth).
4. Let the thermometer stand for 4 minutes before measuring the temperature. Waiting this time is important to consider the measurement reliable.
5. After 4 minutes, remove the thermometer and check the temperature.
6. When finished, take the thermometer by the upper end and shake it quickly about 15 times to allow the signalling liquid to drop below 36 °C again.
7. Clean the thermometer with soap and water so that it is ready for the next use. Ordinary hand soap may be used.

When shaking the thermometer with Acofar Galinstan, shake it gently to avoid breakage. In case of breakage of the thermometer glass, the liquid can be removed with any cloth soaked in soap and water. It is important that the galinstan liquid does not come into contact with precious metals, as it may dissolve them. Contact with skin should also be avoided as, although it is not toxic, it may cause staining.
