Each thermometer comes with a little sticker when they're due for calibration. I think our newer stuff is due July 2018, but from my experience they don't fall too far out of calibration that quickly that it would be absolutely necessary, there are always ways to see roughly how good your calibration is.

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.
