Timestrip Specimen Transport Technology
True TTI
These small/compact label indicators provide a reliable way to follow virology testing kits environmental conditions together with a distinct indication in case regulated limitations are breached.
Together they form an essential tool to support hospitals, surgeries and medical laboratories in storing and transporting virus specimens correctly and preserving the integrity of the specimens, so that test results are meaningful.
The VST series includes a unique integrating Time-Temperature Indicator (TTI) showing the accumulated thermal history at a wide range of temps, starting from regulated chilling temps and up to extreme hot temps above 70°C. All in a single TTI indicator.
Choosing Indicator labels over data loggers
Clinical virus specimens are subject to careful quality control procedures covering transport and storage to ensure that subsequent laboratory test results are meaningful.
Timestrip VST offers you unit level monitoring. They can be shipped in the box with the specimens. They are low cost and single use. No extra disinfectant protocols or return shipping needed.
Irreversible Timestrip VST TTIs can be read with a glance. When temperature breaches occur, the TTIs show the cumulative time the specimens have been exposed to elevated temperatures. This means everyone along the cold chain can check the status of the shipment, without any special equipment.
