Timestrip Complete
If you need to monitor when temperatures rise above and fall below a set temperature range, then Timestrip® Complete offers you complete cold chain monitoring. A small card combining Timestrip® PLUS and Timestrip® Descending indicator labels fits inside shipments and deliveries to monitor products through the last mile.
Shipment Temperature Indicators
Upper threshold temperatures available from −20°C to +38°C. Lower threshold temperatures of 0ºC and 2ºC.
Affordable temperature monitoring for small shipments
For sensitive goods such as vaccines, biologics, food, chemicals, or electronics, the most affordable options are usually single-use irreversible temperature indicators rather than electronic data loggers.
Timestrip Complete temperature monitors offer low-cost cold chain solutions from storage to the last mile. These single-use temperature indicators need no other software or hardware, making them budget friendly for small shipments.Â
Assured Compliance
ISO 9001:2015 manufactured.
Trusted by world-leading brands as their time temperature indicator of choice
For shipping temperature-sensitive products, Timestrip Complete has simple visual alerts, cold-chain compliance, freeze detection – full time-temperature monitoring.
Vaccine Cold Chain Timestrip Complete was developed for last-mile vaccine delivery programmes, pharmaceutical deliveries and clinical trial distribution.
Food Safety See upon delivery if refrigerated foods have remained within a safe temperature range throughout transit. Attached at the carton level to give food safety managers a rapid, documented check at every handoff point.
How Timestrip Complete Monitors the Cold Chain
The Timestrip Complete includes complete, easy-to-understand instructions for shippers to activate the labels, and for receivers to read results when a card is removed from the shipment.
The Timestrip Descending requires no activation, it is continuously monitoring for freeze conditions.
Timestrip PLUS is completely inert before activation. To arm the time temperature indicator, simply press the blister button.
An activation line appears in the first window and fills to read "ON", confirming the indicator is live and monitoring has begun. No pre-conditioning. No cold room. No specialist training.
As soon as the product rises above its threshold temperature, a blue dye begins moving through a precision-engineered microporous membrane. When temperatures drop back below the threshold, the dye halts. The next time the product warms above threshold, the dye resumes from exactly where it stopped.
When temperatures drop below the lower temperature threshold limit, an instant colour change to red appears, showing the product has been exposed to freezing temperatures.
Upon receipt, end users will have an immediate, visual pass or fail confirmation of exposure to temperature excursions, indicating if vaccine efficacy and safety have been compromised.

Timestrip FAQs
FAQs
Yes. Orientation has no impact on the way it works.
Yes. Please contact us for the MSDS for further information. We only use food-grade oils and non-toxic colourants in our formulation. In the unlikely event that the liquid leaks from the indicator and comes into contact with skin, simply wash with soap and water. If the liquid comes into contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Because we like our customers! You can use these free products for testing, training, validation, or just to save money. In the unlikely case any got damaged along the way or someone just wanted to try one, there is no need to get in touch, although we're always happy to hear from our customers. Personally, we think that all companies should give stuff away for free!
Why Choose Timestrip Complete as Your Cold Chain Temperature Solution?
Pharmaceuticals, biologics, food, seafood, and laboratory samples need permanently proof a shipment has exceeded a temperature threshold. Irreversible indicator labels display when temperatures have gone outside their ideal range.
- Patented liquid-based TTI technology — no electronics, no battery, no software
- Instant visual read: anyone can interpret the result without training or tools
- ±1°C threshold accuracy and ±15% time accuracy under isothermal conditions
- Covers temperatures from −20°C to +38°C
- Unique serial number on every indicator
- Customisable thresholds, graphics, time scales and backing cards
