Indicators

Varcode Smart Time/Temp Tag™

The Smart Tag™ is a single use, irreversible time and temperature indicator that accurately tracks your product’s cumulative time over the threshold temperature, and comes in 15 different standard response temperatures (but others can be built upon request).

The barcode dynamically changes based on desired time and temperature parameters. No data crunching is required! With a simple scan, using a mobile phone or standard hand scanner, subjective reading errors are removed and the optional Cloud Management & Data Storage System permanently digitizes the data needed to make intelligent business decisions.

At a low unit cost, the Smart Time/Temp Tag™ can be utilized for every pallet, case, box, unit, and delivery. Providing valuable information on packaging success, product safety, and more.

It is powered by a button cell battery and complies with CE, EMC, ROHS, and DO160 standards. The Mini-tag is tamper-proof as it cannot be reset or manipulated without destruction.

Q-tag Quad – WHO PQS E006/015

The Q-tag Quad is a compact, multifunctional temperature indicator for shipping and storage. It can be programmed with four individual alarm limits ranging from -25°C to +50°C. With an easy-to-understand OK/ALARM display and a long service life of up to 5 years, it’s ideal for “last mile” use.

The device operates independently and displays information in a clear, unalterable manner. It’s highly accurate, with calibration traceable to recognized international standards such as SAS and NIST. The Q-tag Quad can be tailored to product and customer needs with up to four different temperature and time alarms. It’s a single-use device, making it cost-effective as no return logistics are needed. The device requires no software or computer to operate, ensuring quick and easy use.

Q-tag CLm – WHO PQS E006/014

The Q-tag CLm is a reliable temperature indicator for shipping and storage, programmable with five individual alarm limits from -25°C to +50°C. A break-off tab provides clear evidence of activation. The device facilitates quick decision-making with precise date and time information displayed. Its long lifespan of up to five years makes it suitable for monitoring the entire cold chain.

Temperature measurement accuracy ranges from +/- 0.5°C to +/- 0.8°C depending on the temperature range. The device can’t be manipulated, reset, or turned off without being destroyed, ensuring data integrity. It conforms to international standards like the RoHS directive, WEEE, and IATA regulations.

WarmMark

WarmMark time-temperature indicators alert users of exposure to unacceptably high temperature conditions and the cumulative amount of time above the temperature threshold. Without them, a cold chain breach may go unnoticed resulting in a compromise in your product’s quality.

Refrigeration equipment is not always reliable. Temperatures can vary dramatically during transit – trailer, distribution centers, storage. Your product may encounter unexpected delays in areas with less than ideal conditions.

WarmMark time-temperature indicators provide a cost-effective tool for monitoring the temperature of your package. They are single-use devices that provide accurate, irreversible evidence of a temperature excursion. With the information you gather from these indicators, you can make smarter decisions across your cold chain.

VCCM card – WHO PQS E006/004

The affordable chemical indicators can be activated individually by removing the start strip. Each indicator measures only one or a maximum of two temperature limits. They are designed for the following temperature ranges: -15 °C / -4 °C / 0 °C / +5 °C / +10 °C / +10 °C and +34 °C / +26 °C / +31 °C.

Among them, the widely recognized VCCM card stands out as it is equipped with the only indicator capable of measuring two temperatures: 10 °C and +34 °C.

Freeze-tag – WHO PQS E006/007

The Freeze-tag is an electronic temperature indicator designed for monitoring freeze-sensitive goods such as vaccines and dyes during transport and storage. It uses internationally recognized symbols to display the alarm state and has a measuring accuracy of ± 0.3°C.

The Freeze-tag is available in three configurations – YELLOW (alarms after 60 min. below 0°C), ORANGE (alarms after 10 min. below 0°C), and GREEN (alarms after 60 min. below -0.5°C). With an operating life of up to 5 years, it can monitor products throughout their life cycle, from production to storage. These devices are intended for single-use, eliminating the need for return transport. Additionally, they require no software or computer to operate, ensuring quick and easy use.

ColdMark

ColdMark indicators help you determine if your products have gone below an acceptable temperature. Without them, your product may be compromised from an unnoticed breach in your cold chain.

Temperatures can vary dramatically during transit. The cargo hold of an aircraft can be colder than you planned. Your product may encounter unexpected delays and be stored in less than ideal conditions. ColdMark temperature indicators provide a cost-effective tool for monitoring the temperature of your package. They are single-use devices that provide accurate, irreversible evidence of a below threshold deviation. The ColdMark turns from clear to violet when the temperature goes below a predetermined threshold. With the information you gather from these indicators, you can make smarter decisions across your cold chain.

FreezeSafe

Knowing the correct temperature has been maintained is critical to the cold chain. The SpotSee FreezeSafe indicator provides evidence if your product has experienced unacceptably low temperatures.

FreezeSafe temperature indicators provide accurate evidence of a below threshold temperature excursion. This cost-effective solution allows you to add an indicator to every shipment or mount the indicator directly onto the product. The FreezeSafe turns from clear to magenta when the temperature falls below its threshold. A visual check of the indicator alerts the recipient if the temperature has been unacceptably cold.

Thermax Go-NoGo

These self-adhesive labels consist of a series of temperature-sensitive elements sealed between heat-resistant substrates with transparent windows. Each element changes color distinctly as its rated temperature is exceeded. The changes are irreversible, providing a temperature history of the surface being monitored. The labels will not de-laminate when removed for reference and can be attached to an inspection report to serve as a permanent record.

The temperature-sensitive elements are phase-change indicators which use the sharply defined melting points of a series of specially purified organic chemicals to give the unique, high precision, color change effects. Each temperature element uses a different chemical compound and is made separately by applying a coating containing the chemical to a special absorptive paper substrate. When the rated temperature is exceeded, the chemical melts and is absorbed by the substrate, causing a permanent color change. Up to ten elements can be combined together on a single label.
