FAQ’s - Temperature Indicators
What is a temperature indicator?
A temperature indicator provides visual evidence that a product has experienced a defined temperature condition. Depending on the model, indicators can monitor excessive heat, freezing conditions, refrigerated temperature limits, or cumulative time-temperature exposure.
What is the difference between a temperature indicator and a data logger?
Temperature indicators provide a simple visual indication of temperature exposure, while electronic data loggers typically record detailed temperature measurements over time. Indicators are ideal when an immediate visual result is more important than a downloadable temperature history.
What is a time-temperature indicator?
A time-temperature indicator monitors both temperature and the amount of time a product experiences that condition. This can provide more meaningful information than a simple instantaneous threshold indicator for products whose stability depends on cumulative exposure.
Can Timestrip temperature indicators monitor 2–8°C cold-chain shipments?
Timestrip offers temperature-monitoring solutions designed for refrigerated and cold-chain applications, including products intended to identify excursions above or below specified temperature conditions. Select the indicator according to the required threshold and monitoring duration.
Is Timestrip an alternative to SpotSee WarmMark and ColdMark?
Timestrip and SpotSee both manufacture visual temperature-monitoring products. The appropriate solution depends on the required temperature threshold, exposure duration, application, and monitoring objective. ThermLogix can help match an existing WarmMark or ColdMark application to an appropriate Timestrip solution
Are Timestrip temperature indicators reusable?
Most visual Timestrip temperature indicators are designed as single-use monitoring devices. Once activated or triggered, the visual indication provides evidence of the monitored temperature event and should not be reset for another shipment.
