Monitoring Dry Ice Shipments: Loggers Rated for -70°C and Below

Why dry ice needs its own logger

Dry ice sublimates at -78.5°C, and most standard temperature loggers bottom out around -40°C or -30°C. Using the wrong device means your data stops recording exactly when conditions are most extreme — and a frozen, silent record is no record at all.

Two proven options for dry ice lanes

• **TempChrome Elite DI** — single-use logger rated down to -90°C with an LCD, up to 33,000 data points and automatic PDF/CSV report via USB
• **TempTale® Ultra Probeless Dry Ice** — Sensitech validated monitor rated to -95°C, placed directly in contact with the product, with a 3-point NIST traceable calibration certificate

What to check before you ship

• Confirm the logger's **minimum operating range** covers your full payload profile, not just the target temperature
• Pre-program **alarm limits** for the extremes — dry ice lanes fail fast when a pallet is left on a dock
• Use **NIST-traceable** or validated devices for pharma and life sciences consignments
• Make sure the receiver can open a **PDF report without software** — the whole point of USB/PDF loggers

When to choose which

• Single-use, cost-sensitive dry ice shipments (food, diagnostics) → **TempChrome Elite DI**
• Validated life-sciences dry ice with full calibration traceability → **TempTale® Ultra Probeless Dry Ice**
