The ColdMark is a temperature recorder for overnight shipping. It is a single-use indicator that provides an indication of descending low temperatures. Available in three models (-3°C, 0°C, 2°C, 5°C, 10°C), they utilize a chemically activated, irreversible dye color change that occurs when the monitored environment reaches a low threshold temperature (+/-1°C). ColdMarks require special thermal packaging with overnight shipping to prevent a false positive reading prior to use.
Instructions for Use
Storage: The shelf life of the Cold Mark is two years from date of manufacture. Store the
ColdMark indicator in a temperature environment no colder than 5°C above the response temperature. Preconditioning is not required.
Application: Remove the liner from the pressure-sensitive backing, and secure the ColdMark on a clean, dry surface inside the shipping container or on the product.
Interpretation of Results: The appearance of violet color in the ColdMark bulb indicates that the specified low temperature has been reached. If the bulb remains clear and colorless, the environment in the monitored area has remained above the threshold temperature.
