the ice pack thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
the ice pack thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down.
Put a logger in three consecutive orders. Two never went above the range at all and the third spent four hours warm on a Friday. Cost me almost nothing to stop wondering.
Gel pack fully liquid on arrival, powder tested 99.5% against a claimed 99.0% afterwards. The pack had done its job for as long as it was designed to.
Moved everything off the fridge door after reading a thread here and my temperature log immediately got boring.
If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something. Alone it is an anecdote.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Tracking number redacted. It identifies both ends of a shipment and that rule has no exceptions.
A transit temperature logger records a distribution, and time above a threshold matters as much as peak temperature. That is the argument for logging rather than guessing.
Agreed on seasonality. The same lane in February and August is not the same lane.
Disagree with the panic framing. Lyophilised material tolerates ordinary transit conditions far better than these threads imply.
