All QA Products offers a product that is so useful, we are still hearing about applications. This versatile freezer / refrigerator remote probe digital thermometer has just the right features, and costs less than more technical temperature monitors.

The Min/Max audible alarm sounds for 12 hours, so if you had an overnight problem, you will know first thing in the morning.

Use to monitor ice bath temperatures during chill-down, or to track the progress of water bath thaw. Or just simply use it as an equipment monitor with alarm.

Use the bottle probe sensor to avoid "spiking.'' If you need to know about "opening and closing events" and are interested in transient spikes, get the normal simple probe sensor type.

The unit is NIST traceable with certificate.

The bottle probe sensor is a sealed glycerol filled container (with internal sensor) that is designed to reflect the actual temperature experienced by food items in the storage container. Solid or liquid foods do not change as rapidly as air temperatures, so the alarm function works to "filter out" spikes of temperature that are really not important to the temperature maintenance of stored items. This eliminates false alarms.

The CDC has adocument on storage/handling of immunizations. One suggestion is to contactthe vaccine manufacturer and have them test a sample of your vaccine forpotency (specifically mentioned under varicella).
