TempTale® USB Dry Ice

TT4 USB Dry Ice

The TempTale®4 USB Dry Ice (TT4 Dry Ice) temperature monitor can be used to record and monitor cold chain shipment and storage processes of blood plasma, pharmaceuticals, frozen tissue and dry ice shipments where temperatures can reach as low as -80ºC (-112ºF). Other applications include ultra-low temperature equipment validation such as plasma and red cell freezers, ultra-low temperature freezers, and shipping containers. The TT4 USB Dry Ice monitor is a self-contained, battery powered, electronic monitor that can be placed directly into dry ice containers and packaging, without the need for external probes and wires.

Monitoring the cold chain throughout complex supply chains is made easy with the TT4 USB Dry Ice monitor. Combining Sensitech's industry-leading temperature monitoring technology with USB 2.0 PC communications and a powerful on-board microcontroller enables access to time-and-temperature data without the need for propietary software and hardware readers.

Features and Benefits

  • No proprietary software or hardware reader required and no training or complex system deployments
  • Trouble-free USB communication without PC installs, upgrades or support
  • Simple retrieval of cold-chain information via automated on-board report generation in a standard Adobe® PDF file format
  • Automatic on-board generation of an encrypted data file compatible with Sensitech's TempTale Manager® Desktop and ColdStream® Cold Chain Manager lets you exchange, store, and analyze data quickly and securely
  • Well suited for complex distribution networks with multiple independent receiving sites such as clinical trials, "last mile," and sales representative sample supply chains
