The thermometer you linked is +- 1.5 degrees. Though the description mentioned an Ultra model that is 0.4.
If you or anyone for that matter really wanted one, I don't mind getting some from the lab manager at cost and sending them, she's generally quite easy about that stuff as long as it gets paid somehow. I think they run 40-50 (can't recall) at our cost and I don't assume it would be too awful to ship something so light. For some reason BRS sells them at 99 each, but I guess they don't assume they'll be selling them in large volumes.
