What is a monitor mark? What is a 3M temperature indicator?
3M Monitor Mark indicators measure temperature exposure, not quality. Their goal is to indicate when the product’s quality should be tested. The obvious applications include drug or vaccine monitoring, medical diagnostic kits, blood substances, and ophthalmic solutions. Monitor Mark Time Temperature Indicators are suitable for use with any temperature-sensitive product. They are primarily used in conjunction with packaging (such as cartons, cans, and so on) to monitor the condition during storage or distribution, as well as to evaluate the containers.
ShockWatch WarmMark Duo and WarmMark Long Run have the same technology as 3M Monitor Mark.
How does a 3M monitor mark work?
When exposed to the specified threshold temperature, Monitor Mark time temperature indicators will change color. When exposed to a constant temperature 2°C above the threshold temperature for the indicated cumulative run-out time, the run-out distance will be within the specification’s limits. For monitoring of product exposure to freezing temperatures, we recommend the 3m freezewatch indicators. A porous indicator strip serves as the indicator’s heart. One end is mounted on a reservoir path, which contains a blue-colored chemical substance with the desired melting point. A removable activation strip separates the reservoir indicator; once removed, the label is activated. A cardboard top layer with viewing windows is covered with a transparent protective film. The 3M Monitor Mark indicator is a diffusion-based indicator. With increasing temperature a blue-dyed fatty acid ester diffuses through a porous wick (made from a high-quality blotting paper), thus giving a measurable response. Indicators are designed to run (blue colour movement) when the temperature exceeds the threshold. After this occurs, the indicators will continue to run until the temperature falls below the threshold. Typical stopping temperatures are 2-3°C below the threshold temperature.
