Timestrip labels remain completely inert prior to use and are shipped at ambient temperature- a clear cost and operational advantage over other cold chain technologies used in cold chain logistics and cold chain management.

With Timestrip, the monitoring process can only start once the activation pad has been compressed (by simple finger pressure), which triggers the migration of a safe dye along a patent protected membrane structure. Elapsed time and/or temperature breaches are displayed with clarity and accuracy and the process cannot be reversed or displays tampered with once activated.
