Traditional non-mercury thermometers measure body temperature in the range of 35.5–42 °C with precision up to one decimal place. The measurement time with a traditional thermometer is 8 minutes. The test can be conducted in the armpit, orally, or rectally to achieve the most accurate result.

Modern non-mercury thermometers are filled with a mixture of liquid metals, such as a gallium, indium, tin, and zinc alloy. Gallium is a metal that solidifies at room temperature, making it difficult to shake down the thermometer. Therefore, it is recommended to do this immediately after reading the measurement results.

Given the glass construction of the device, measuring a child's temperature with a traditional thermometer should always be done under adult supervision. After a rectal measurement, it is also necessary to thoroughly disinfect the thermometer. This classic thermometer comes with a magnifying glass-effect case, making it easy to read the temperature measurement results.

The greatest advantage of this type of device is its constant readiness for use, as it does not require external power from a battery.
