Temperature Logger for Doctors
Suggested Models: Thermocron TCS Logtag with Display Thermocron TCU Logtag Temperature When storing medicines, vaccines and many chemicals there is a requirement to have a record of the temperatures at which they have been stored. The Thermocron TCS or the Logtag will give you an accurate record of the temperatures in your fridges 24 hours […]
Where should I place my Vaccine Temperature Logger?
Where should I place my Vaccine Temperature Logger? I am frequently asked this question. If you read “strive for 5” it suggests that you need to understand your vaccine fridge, so the logger should be placed in different locations after each time that you download your temperature log. From having the logger in a different […]

Temperature loggers in Vaccine Fridges
After 10 years in the business, it now appears that temperature loggers are becoming a normal option for monitoring vaccine fridges. And it is also finally getting to the stage where a vaccine fridge is considered not only best practice, but the standard practice instead of cheap domestic fridges. But why should people spend more […]
Temperature Logger Specifications: Part 2
Starting options Temperature loggers often offer a range of techniques to start the logging. Most loggers provide an immediate start capability via the software. A manual start option (normally a push button) is useful for where the loggers are stored for some time before use and a PC is not available. For example, a farm or […]
Temperature Logger Specifications: Part 1
In this final part on temperature loggers we investigate the other specifications and features that differentiate temperature loggers and thermometers. Software The great benefit of loggers is the ability to view the results and save them for later use. Each logger will typically have its own software. They vary in what the software can do […]
Temperature Logger – Sample rate and memory
This part continues exploring the jargon involved with temperature loggers and focuses on the sample rate and memory size. These are critical because they determine how long a logger can be used for before information is lost. Sample rate This is how often the logger will record the temperature. Most loggers offer a programmable […]
Temperature Logger discrepancy – “But why don’t they agree?”
A very common question is “why don’t two monitoring devices show the same temperature?” For example a fridge may have a digital display and a temperature logger but they never show the same temperature. Is the logger discrepancy showing the logger is wrong, because surely it must be impossible for them to both be right? […]
Temperature Measurement: Sources of Errors
It should be noted that the accuracy of temperature measurement is dependent upon a number of factors. The Instrument The device itself will cause errors because of limitations in digital processing and physical issues (eg “cold junction compensation” with thermocouples). The Sensor The sensor is often the greatest source of error in the reading. […]
Temperature Loggers: Accuracy versus Resolution
Resolution The resolution is an indication of how specific the answer is. It is measured in degrees. The smaller the value, the better the device. For example, a resolution of 0.5° means that a reading of 3.5° could be between 3.25° and 3.75°. A resolution of 0.1° means that a reading of 3.5° could be […]
Temperature Loggers vs Thermometers
Thermometers Thermometers simply display the current temperature. Many people will already be using thermometers within their business. However, they have some significant limitations. Just because the temperature is right right now (as shown on the thermometer) does not mean that it was always right. A min/max thermometer partially fixes this issue by telling you if […]
