3M^TM MonitorMark^TM Time/Temperature Indicators monitor product temperature exposure through the entire supply chain. They provide a non-reversible record of temperature exposure that is accurate and easy to interpret.

3M^TM MonitorMark^TM Time/Temperature Indicators are available in a variety of time and temperature ranges, and may be used to monitor the cold chain for perishable food products, vaccines, blood and many other applications.

Product Construction

• Rectangular, flat laminate with layers of paper, film, adhesive and other components
• Blue compound run-out to estimate how long your product was above the threshold temperature
• Removable film activation strip
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive allows attachment to almost all clean, dry surfaces

Uses

• Monitoring temperature exposure of temperature-sensitive products during transportation and storage (for example, frozen or refrigerated foods, drugs, vaccines, medical diagnostic kits, blood, blood products, and intraocular lenses)
• Typically placed inside insulated shipping boxes near the temperature sensitive product
• The indicators monitor temperature exposure, not product quality. Their purpose is to signal when product quality should be checked due to temperature exposure.

Benefits

• Inexpensive solution to monitoring exposure to elevated temperatures
• Self-adhesive backing for attachment to exterior packaging
• Easily-interpreted visual results
• Results indicate both that exposure occurred and a relative indication of the length/extent of thermal abuse
