The Science Behind NexTemp

Precision Phase Change Technology (PPCT)

Every NexTemp® thermometer is powered by Precision Phase Change Technology (PPCT), a trusted innovation used in hospitals worldwide.

This technology uses special heat-sensitive crystals that change color to show your exact temperature, ensuring safety, accuracy, and peace of mind every time.

How It Works

Each thermometer contains tiny dots filled with liquid crystals. As your temperature rises, the dots react to the heat, one by one, until the last dot changes color to show your temperature reading.

Every NexTemp thermometer is tested twice during production for precision, ensuring hospital-level accuracy you can trust at home.

NexTemp® thermometers are backed by decades of clinical research.

  • Proven accuracy that matches or exceeds hospital standards

  • Validated across adults, children, and infants

  • Supported by peer-reviewed studies compared to mercury and digital thermometers

Smarter for You, and the Planet

Choosing single-use thermometers isn’t just simple; it’s a smarter choice for the environment and public health. NexTemp® thermometers are made with minimal materials, require no batteries or electronics, and can be safely discarded without special recycling.

A Smarter, More Sustainable Choice

Simple. Safe. Sustainable.

  • Less Waste: Tiny and lightweight — one box holds thousands, reducing material use and shipping impact.
  • No Batteries. No Electronics. Just accurate, safe readings without the extra waste.
  • Low Plastic, Big Impact: Uses a fraction of the plastic found in digital thermometers.
  • Clean and Chemical-Free: No probe covers, wipes, or harsh disinfectants needed.
  • Made for Everyone, Everywhere: Works without electricity — perfect for homes, clinics, and remote communities.

Smarter for the Environment and for Public Health

Switching to single-use thermometers isn’t just about convenience, it supports a circular economy by favoring products that require less to produce, and are easier to dispose of responsibly.

Batteries create long-term environmental harm, and disposing of them correctly is a challenge. They leak
toxic chemicals, contribute to e-waste, and require special recycling methods that most people don’t follow.
