Temperature Dataloggers

Temperature dataloggers record temperature (and often humidity) readings over time, used to monitor cold chain shipments, storage conditions, and environmental compliance. We stock single-use, reusable, and wireless temperature dataloggers for shipping, warehouse, and laboratory monitoring applications.

Types of Temperature Dataloggers

Single-use dataloggers are designed for one-time shipment monitoring and are typically disposed of after data is downloaded, offering a low-cost option for cold chain shipping verification. Reusable dataloggers can be redeployed for ongoing monitoring, commonly used in warehouses, refrigerators, and storage facilities. Wireless dataloggers transmit data in real time via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular connection, enabling remote monitoring and instant alerts without manual data retrieval.

Logging Interval & Memory

Logging intervals are typically adjustable from a few seconds up to several hours depending on the application, with memory capacity determining how long the device can log before data must be downloaded or overwritten. Shipment monitoring applications generally use shorter intervals for detailed excursion tracking, while long-term storage monitoring can use longer intervals to extend battery and memory life.

Accuracy & Compliance

Accuracy in this category typically ranges from ±0.3°C to ±1°C depending on the model, with regulated applications such as pharmaceutical and vaccine storage often requiring documented calibration and validation records. NIST-traceable calibration certificates are available on select models for compliance-driven monitoring programs.

Common Applications

• Cold chain shipping and logistics monitoring
• Pharmaceutical and vaccine storage compliance
• Warehouse and cold storage environmental monitoring
• Food safety and HACCP compliance
• Laboratory sample and reagent storage tracking

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a single-use or reusable datalogger?

Single-use dataloggers are cost-effective for one-time shipment monitoring where the device won’t be recovered. Reusable dataloggers are better suited for ongoing monitoring in facilities where the device can be redeployed repeatedly.

Do I need a wireless datalogger?

Wireless dataloggers are recommended when real-time alerts or remote monitoring are needed, such as for continuous storage monitoring, since they eliminate the need to physically retrieve the device to access data.

What logging interval should I use?

Shorter intervals provide more detailed data and are useful for shipment monitoring where quick temperature excursions matter. Longer intervals conserve battery and memory life for extended, long-term storage monitoring.

Do you provide calibration certificates for temperature dataloggers?

Yes, select models are available with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate at the time of purchase. Look for the certification filter above or contact us for a custom calibration request.
