Temperature Monitoring Devices - An International Business Analysis published by BizAcumen, Inc. in November, 2009. This report consists of Pages: 190 and the price starts from US $ 3450.
Abstract
Thermometers for clinical application have come a long way since their
introduction. Concerns regarding the use of mercury in thermometers, and the
subsequent phase out of mercury thermometers in several developed markets led
to the advent of a completely new set of innovative thermometers. The
development of newer varieties including digital, electronic, and infrared
thermometers are taking the market to new heights.
Thermometers are
usually rated based on features such as automatic memory, accuracy, and ease
of use. Several alternatives have emerged for clinical and mercury
thermometers. In addition to electronic and electrical thermometers, new glass
thermometers are available that contain gallium/indium/tin alloy. Digital
thermometers are currently preferred over mercury-in-glass thermometers as
they are faster, economical, and record temperature with greater precision.
These and other market data and trends are presented in "Temperature
Monitoring Devices: An International Business Analysis" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our
reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and
vertical market analyses
