Timestrip® PLUS are irreversible temperature threshold indicators

Timestrip® PLUS are irreversible temperature threshold indicators; they cover a range of temperatures from -20°C (-4°F) to 38°(100°F) that alert you to temperature breaches but also, crucially in some situations, they display the duration of the breach. 

Once activated, Timestrip® PLUS will keep monitoring temperature for days, weeks or months, depending on your needs. Effective for use across various industries such as life sciences, pharma and food, they monitor ascending temperature breaches but can be customised to both ascending and descending. 

Use cases vary and include cold chain monitoring, frozen food, pharma shipments and room temperature monitoring. Unique serial codes are printed on each Timestrip® PLUS indicator for traceability.

Ascending Temperature Indicators. A time-temperature solution perfect for Reduced Oxygen Packaging 3°C threshold

Timestrip® PLUS Seafood: is a convenient indicator with push-button simplicity. It is small and can be applied directly onto seafood packaging, crates or a carrying card.As Clostridium botulinum (C.Botulinum) is known to form toxins much faster above 3°C /37°F it is important to the Seafood industry to know if shipments have been exposed to temperatures higher than 3°C/37°F, and for how long.

Timestrip® PLUS Seafood can be stored inert at room temperature and then activated without pre-conditioning when required. When activated by pushing the button, ’on’ is revealed to confirm it is correctly armed. Temperature abuse is then signalled if the 2 hour breach window turns from white to blue. If the breach lasts 4 hours or more the second breach window will also turn from white to blue.

• It provides a record of temperature compliance that can be instantly seen and understood by seafood handlers. 
• It offers guidance on how long any temperature abuse has lasted.
• It can be used as traceable evidence for an audit of supply chain dangers within a Hazard and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan.
