Each Timestrip?PLUS indicator is a small, self-adhesive label that can be attached to a product, package or car- rying card*. It monitors temperature and indicates when a maximum threshold has been breached. It is irreversible and also records the total time duration of one or more breaches.

Each product in the range has been engineered for a dif- ferent maximum threshold temperature so customers can choose the Timestrip?PLUS that best suits their needs.

How to use:

Timestrip PLUS indicators are completely inert prior to activate and can be stored at room temperature. 

To activate Timestrip PLUS, the surrounding temperature must be above the stated threshold temperature so that the blue dyed liquid can be released from the button. Fully squeeze the button and check that the first window turns blue and the word ‘On’ appears. If not, immediately re- squeeze the button fully. Within 2-3 minutes of activation, place the indicator below its STOP temperature for a min- imum of 1 Hour so that the liquid freezes and the indicator is fully conditioned and ready to use. If the carrying card or the product to be monitored is already at or below the STOP temperature then the indicator can be stuck directly to it by removing the adhesive liner on the back.
