We've been using the manual Fyrite method to verify the calibration of our incubators for 30 years. It there a a reliable digital instrument anyone can recommend as an alternative to the Fyrite?

thanks

We are using a digital unit from Thermo Fisher Scientific, item #50121515, which is very reliable and way easier than traditional fyrite.  It is quite expensive, and it needs to be factory calibrated annually, which is also expensive, but it is worth every penny.

thanks, everybody. I'm going to get quotes for both instruments.

Thank you

It needs to be done annually and the unit will remind you when it is due.  If I remember correctly, a basic factory calibration costs about $300 and they complete it within 2 weeks.
