ColdChain Complete

ColdChain Complete is a cost-effective, dual-temperature indicator that provides irreversible proof of both hot and cold temperature excursions during the shipping and storage of sensitive goods. Available in two formats—the standard card and the compact ColdChain Complete XS—it is designed for versatility across industries where space and accuracy matter.

These single-use adhesive indicators offer clear visual feedback if goods have been exposed to temperatures above or below specific thresholds for a set period. Once activated, the indicator permanently displays the breach, helping supply chain teams make quick, informed accept/reject decisions.

ColdChain Complete is widely trusted for pharmaceuticals, biologics, vaccines, and food shipments, where safety, compliance, and quality assurance are essential. By reducing the risk of spoilage and ensuring cold chain visibility, this simple yet powerful tool validates compliance, protects valuable goods, and supports regulatory requirements across global supply chains.

  • Pre-condition the indicator at least 5°C below the warm threshold for 30 minutes.

  • Arm the warm indicator by folding and pulling the tab to expose the breach window.

  • The freeze indicator requires no arming and may start clear or light magenta.

  • Apply (or place) the indicator close to the monitored product where it’s visible to the receiver.

  • If a color change occurs:

    • Warm Indicator: Any pink/red = excursion above threshold.

    • Freeze Indicator: Darker than the reference dot = freeze event.
