Automated In-Transit Temperature Monitoring of Heat Sensitive Samples

TomKey is an innovative USB key for recording and displaying temperature now available from exclusive UK distributor Don Whitley Scientific. Manufactured by AES Chemunex, the device is designed to monitor the transportation of heat-sensitive clinical and medical samples.

Ensuring continuous traceability of temperatures between -40 and +80°C, TomKey is a simple, cost-effective monitoring device. Information such as current temperature, minimum and maximum levels reached and a threshold-exceeded alarm are displayed directly on the integrated LCD screen. With an IP67 rating, the shock-resistant unit is guaranteed to perform reliably even under dusty or wet conditions.

Two models are available, storing up to either 8,000 or 16,000 readings. The larger capacity memory is equivalent to testing at 15 minute intervals over a four-month period. Data is quickly and directly transferred using the built-in USB 2.0 connector, removing the need for any cables, and all information on the device is retained even if the battery fails. Calibration certification is supplied as standard, along with software for recording and processing collected data.
