Read moreIf you wanted to know if your child had a fever or be certain that the roast in the oven was thoroughly cooked, you would, of course, use a thermometer that you trusted to give accurate readings at any temperature within its range. However, it isn't that simple for researchers who need to measure temperatures in microfluidic systems?tiny, channel-lined devices used in medical diagnostics, DNA forensics and lab-on-a-chip chemical analyzers?as their current 'thermometer' can only be precisely calibrated for one reference temperature.
