Hi Everyone, I am trying to find reversible temperature labels/indicators that can be placed inside the cooler with dry ice. I want them to show the alert if temperature goes higher than 0 Celsius. The main point is to have proof that specimen is frozen at all times. Anyone can recommend any? Thank you

Bill, Thank you for your input. I actually was thinking about the same thing : opting for thermometers, validating them and recording the temperatures.. Right now I am choosing which thermometer to get, to keep it cost effective. Anyone has any experience with thermometers to monitor temperatures in the coolers during transport? If any brands are recommended, please let me know?

Hi Everyone, We are Medical Laboratory, picking up specimens from many locations and transporting them to our lab via couriers. Our specimens usually contain blood tubes, urine, etc. Most of the specimens are refrigerated, some frozen and some ambient. My question is: does anyone have SOP on specimen handling while in transport? Are you using any temperature indicators inside your coolers? What is the best way to validate these coolers and make sure that specimens are transported under correct temperature? Our couriers do multiple stops so they open coolers frequently during route. Thank you, hope to hear some advices soon!
