Temperature monitoring builds on new indicator platform

Timestrip has added to its neo platform with two new products. The Freeze Alarm is intended for products sensitive to freezing and offers a visible alert if the ambient temperature drops below 0C for 30 minutes; it displays a further warning at 60 minutes. The Room Temp indicator monitors the 15C to 25C range and alerts at one hour.

The two new indicators complement the first neo product, the Fridge Alarm, which reacts at three temperatures and five time intervals. All the products check temperatures at around twice a minute and are expected to be extremely useful in healthcare applications covering vaccines and pharmaceuticals, plus foodstuffs, paint, adhesives, and chemicals. Serial numbers on each product provide for traceability in quality control systems.

This is the latest platform for various single-use temperature and time indicators that offer highly versatile operation at low cost. More accurate than liquid indicators, the electronic indicators have been specifically designed to combine simplicity of use with a very small and light form factor. All indicators are ideal for pack-level monitoring with time and multiple temperature settings.

“The Timestrip neo platform technology can cover a very wide range of user needs”, said Gabriel McGlynn, chairman of Timestrip. “We have anticipated three of the most common applications with the Fridge Alarm and now the Freeze Alarm and Room Temperature indicators and will hold them in stock for rapid despatch.”
