Timestrip® Descending 2°C / 36°F Low Temperature Indicator – TD404 – 100 Pack
Timestrip® Temperature Indicator | US Stock | Volume Pricing | Cold Chain Monitoring
Timestrip® Descending TD404 is a single-use, irreversible low-temperature indicator designed to provide immediate visual evidence when a temperature-sensitive product is exposed below 2°C / 36°F.
TD404 is designed for refrigerated shipments and other applications where a product must remain above a critical minimum temperature, even though that minimum is still above freezing.
The indicator is self-activating and continuously monitors temperature. If temperature drops below 2°C / 36°F, the indicator permanently changes from green to red, providing a clear visual indication of the breach.
Ideal for pharmaceuticals, vaccines, biologics, medical products, refrigerated foods, life-science materials, chemicals, and other cold-sensitive products.
Too Cold? Know Immediately.

Timestrip publishes these specifications for the TD404 Descending indicator.
Not every cold-chain product can safely approach freezing.
Some refrigerated products must remain above 2°C / 36°F throughout transportation and storage.
TD404 continuously monitors for temperatures falling below that minimum threshold and provides an irreversible visual indication if a qualifying low-temperature excursion occurs.
Green = No Breach
Red = Temperature Dropped Below 2°C / 36°F
TD404 requires no manual activation.
The indicator is self-activating and continuously monitors for low-temperature breaches, making it simple to deploy across refrigerated shipments and high-volume cold-chain programs.
Apply. Ship. Inspect.
No activation button.
No batteries.
No software.
No electronic reader.
Detect exposure below a specified temperature threshold during storage and transportation.
A clear green-to-red color change provides permanent visual evidence of a qualifying temperature breach.
SELF-ACTIVATING TECHNOLOGY
No manual activation, batteries, software, electronic reader, or specialized equipment required.

A descending temperature indicator monitors for temperatures falling below a specified threshold.
Unlike an ascending temperature indicator designed to identify excessive heat, Timestrip Descending provides an irreversible visual indication when a product experiences a qualifying low-temperature excursion.
A freeze indicator provides visual evidence that a temperature-sensitive product has experienced temperatures at or below a specified low-temperature threshold.
Freeze monitoring is particularly important for products such as certain vaccines, pharmaceuticals, biological materials, foods, and chemicals that can be damaged by freezing or excessive cold.
Timestrip Descending continuously monitors temperature.
When temperature drops below its specified threshold, the indicator undergoes an irreversible green-to-red color change, providing an immediate visual indication that a breach occurred.
No.
Timestrip Descending is self-activating and requires no special activator or manual activation procedure.
Yes. Freeze-sensitive vaccines and pharmaceuticals are important applications for descending temperature monitoring because certain products can be compromised by accidental freezing during transportation or storage.
