The Planer ShipsLog™ is a datalogger for vapour shippers which will keep an accurate and downloadable temperature history of samples over the duration of the transit.

The ShipsLog™ is an on-line monitoring system of temperature history for samples in liquid Nitrogen Vapour Shippers. It provides traceability for the temperature of the samples and can give alarms at setpoints during the transit period.

The ShipsLog™ monitor is fitted in the top of the dry shipper's cover. The temperature probe (PLPT100) extrudes through the 'cork', monitoring the temperature at the warmest part of the vapour shipper.

The temperature sensor is fitted to a plate which prevents physical damage to the sensor and also ensures that the temperature recorded is higher than the temperature in the vicinity of the sample.

The ShipsLog™ can also be supplied with a flying lead should it be required to record the temperature within the sample area - this unit is not fitted with, or supplied with a cork and cover.

Samples may be transported in the knowledge that on arrival at destination the recipient can quickly check via the LED display whether the temperature range has deviated from the pre set profile.

The full temperature history can be downloaded if desired to confirm the exact temperature pattern throughout the journey. The logger is user programmable via PC software.

The logging process can be started either via the PC software or via a magnetic swipe key - which can be shipped separately from the vapour shipper. Analysis of the data can be made by the sender, the receiver or both.

A data logger for vapour shippers in transit - the Planer ShipsLog™

It keeps an accurate and downloadable temperature history of samples over the duration of a transit.

The unit gives a temperature history for samples in vapour shippers - liquid nitrogen charged 'Dry Shippers' - and provides traceability for the temperature of the samples; it can be set to give alarms at set points during the transit period.

The logger is programmable via PC software and the process can be started either via the PC software or via a magnetic swipe key. The key can be sent separately from the vapour shipper.

Samples may be transported in the knowledge that on arrival at destination the recipient can quickly check via the LED display, whether the temperature range has deviated form the pre-set profile.

The ShipsLog is widely used when valuable cryo-frozen samples, pharmaceutical, medical or zoological, are transported by air, road or sea.
