LogTag Vaccine Set

LogTag Vaccine Logger Set

While regular temperature loggers measure the temperature of the air in the vaccine fridge, a temperature logger placed into a vial of liquid mimics the temperature of liquid vaccines. This means that fluctuations between minimum and maximum will be lower. This set contains a logger, a probe, and a leakproof vial with 60ml of propylene glycol.

A complete vaccine monitoring solution

When placed in the refrigerator with liquid vaccines, this set will log temperatures that more closely reflect their actual temperature, rather than the air temperature in the refrigerator.

This set contains:

  • 2nd Generation USB LogTag (TRED30-16U) featuring LCD Display and Replaceable Battery
  • ST100J External Probe
  • Leak-Proof Vial
  • 60ml Glycol

The ultimate vaccine fridge monitor

Recording the temperatures that a liquid vaccine actually experiences

How it works

When a refrigerator door is opened, the air temperature in the refrigerator may rise quite rapidly, but the temperature of stored liquid vaccines will be much slower to react. Logging the temperature of a liquid will therefore give a much more accurate record of what your vaccines actually experienced.

This set has a LogTag attached to a probe that is immersed in glycol. It mimics the actual temperature experienced by vaccines in your refrigerator.

air temp vs liquid temp

What effect does this have on the log?

Liquids, such as vaccines in vials,  heat up and cool down much slower than the surrounding air, and you can see this on the graph.

The graph of air temp shows temperatures ranging from 2° to 8°, while the liquid temperature shows a much smaller range of temperatures.

Certification options explained

If you need some form of certification about the accuracy of your logger, you have various options.

Certificate of Calibration

LogTag Certificate

This is a free certificate that comes with every LogTag. You can access this certificate through the configuration page in LogTag Analyser.

Certificate of Accuracy

LogTag Certificate

This paid certificate is from a laboratory that uses testing instruments that have been calibrated using NATA-traceable instruments.

NATA Certificate

NATA-Certificate

This paid certificate is from a laboratory that has full NATA certification.

Pre-configuration

Before you can start using a new logger, you will need to configure it with all the settings appropriate to what you are logging.

This is not difficult, and we have instructions on how to do it on this website, but if you would prefer us to do it for you, that service is available at a small cost.

We can pre-configure your LogTag with our recommended settings for:

  • vaccine refrigerators (2° to 8°C),
  • food refrigerators (0° to 5°C), or
  • food freezers (-30° to -10°C).

This means, all you will need to do when you receive your LogTag, is press the Start button and place it in the environment to be monitored.

Latency explained

What is latency?

Latency, when it comes to temperature logging, refers to the delay between a change in temperature and when that change is detected and recorded by the logger. This delay can be due to the sensor’s design, the materials it’s placed in, or the logging interval. While it might sound like a disadvantage, latency can actually serve a useful purpose in certain environments—particularly where short-term temperature spikes are common but not harmful.

For example, in a busy commercial fridge, the temperature may briefly rise every time the door is opened. A logger with high latency won’t immediately react to these short fluctuations, helping to avoid unnecessary alarms or false data indicating a problem when there isn’t one. In these cases, a slight delay in response acts like a filter, focusing attention on real issues—such as prolonged exposure to unsafe temperatures—while ignoring the everyday ups and downs that don’t affect product quality or safety.

Differrnt connections

Connecting your logger

Depending on the type of logger you have, connecting your logger to your PC means either:

  • inserting into the Reader,
  • plugging it into a USB port, or
  • connecting it via a USB cable.

What's so good about USB?

First Generation LogTags use a separate Reader (sometimes called a dock) for configuration and for downloading recorded data. 

The Second Generation loggers only require a USB port or cable. Apart from saving the cost of the Reader, this makes them much better suited for shipping, because the recipient doesn’t need a LogTag Reader to download a report about the shipment’s journey.
