Instructions indicate that a room temperature sample is necessary to test-- how long do you have to wait for sample to become appropriate temperature?

I honestly never waited before dipping. I did wait about five minutes before checking it though. One person on a babycenter post had said that she tried it immediately and then when it was room temp, and there was no difference in the results. I did follow the other directions closely. I imagine that you could pour a little urine in a more shallow cup and it would cool very quickly if you wanted to be extra safe.

Dear Sue, Thanks for your mesage. The "120 seconds in measurement" does not mean must be measured 2 minutes. Usually you just measure 50-60 seconds. But when you measure 120 seconds, it is more accurate. This time the temperature degree is closer to your actual body temperature. Please let me know if you have any question or need any additional information. Thank you! Best regards, Wimpy Kid

Not long. You want the temperature change to be slow anyways so it wont chock the system

I'm finding that my cakes are getting done more quickly, so I'm testing a few minutes before the suggested finish time. Maybe lowering the temp by 25 degrees would have the same result.

room temp is fine, as long as it is dry. when making it in to a tea it needs to boil for at least 15 min.

There should be an evident change in temperature no longer than 30 minutes after activation. Please try a higher temperature setting during the next use. If there is no change in temperature, please contact us!

Immediately. It will be displaying the ambient temperature and will start to escalate up to the temperature of whatever you are cooking as soon as you insert it into the product you are measuring. It takes a very short time to reach the actual temperature of the product.

You must buy a whole new kit after finishing the tests. The monitor is calibrated to the test packets and programmed for only those 20 tests. The kit is only good for a maximum of 12 months and should be refrigerated to get maximum usage. BTW Bayer is discontinuing this product.

yes the room temperature number should go down according to what the temperature of the room is at.

Dear CK C.,Thank you for your inquiry. It is best to use a fresh sample collected using a clean, dry, sterile cup. If using a frozen sample or sample that is within room temperature, the urine should be at 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for testing. Also, morning samples or waiting 2-4 hours between bathroom break will assure a more saturated sample of LH hormone in the sample for testing Peak ovulation times.

The temperature readout is updated constantly, so when you turn it on, it reads room temperature, you stick it into food, and you'll see the temp readout rapidly rise and then level off at the temp of the food.Plus, the shaft on this thermometer is about a foot long. So, there's bound to be a bit of thermal mass inertia to initially overcome before it reaches a steady state temperature with the food.

In hot water or the oven. You need to ensure you do not burn the client so no more than 120 degrees and always check heat with your own hands. If too hot. allow to cool or run under cold tap, only the surface will cool, so leave for a couple of minutes and check with your hands again.

I never noticed. I simply put it in the cage (permanently) and checked it 15 min later. I assume 5 minutes should do it. Probably sooner. It's meant to sit in the terrarium indefinitely. Not really to be taken in and out. You would probably want an infrared temperature reader if you just want to check the temperature couple times a day.

I seem to get questions, all the time, about this product that I purchased some time ago. I 'm certainly not an expert on it. I can tell you that I refrigerated my bottle and would bring it to room temperature before using it. I had it for quite a while since it is used in small amounts. I never suffered any ill effects from it.

Be sure to perform a test run of at least 2 - 3 days to verify the temperature selection dial is accurate; mine was within about 1 - 2 degrees. I'd recommend having at least one remote reading thermometer inside the box, so you can monitor temperature without opening the door. Something like a freezer alarm works well, or a battery powered outdoor thermometer that radios back to an indoor display unit. Also if humidity is an aging criterion, play around with various sizes of pans of water in there.

60F. But the attached probe (short wire, tucked behind the unit, which could be extended away from the unit 2 inches at most) reports temperatures that are higher than ambient room temperature, even if I measure it a few inches away from the probe (maybe due to the internal heat of the unit influencing it a bit). So, I typically set the temperature to a little higher than "the temperature I want according to my body-temperature measuring infrared thermometer".

I think as long as you wait until it cools to room temperature after cooking, then clean it with soap and water as you see fit.
