Everything you need to know to unbox, activate, and deploy your CryoVeritas indicators. Start protecting your samples in minutes.
See a complete walkthrough of unboxing and activating a CryoVeritas indicator — from package to protection in just a few simple steps.
CryoVeritas indicators are designed for simplicity. No training, calibration, or equipment required.
Remove the indicator from its packaging and twist the cap to break the internal seal. This mixes the two components inside the vial.
Shake the vial for 10–15 seconds until the liquid turns a bright, vivid pink. This confirms the indicator is activated and ready to use.
Place the activated indicator alongside your samples inside a cryo box or storage container. The pink color will remain as long as safe temperatures are maintained.
Follow these guidelines to get the most reliable results from your CryoVeritas indicators.
Keep unused indicators at room temperature in their original packaging. Do not refrigerate or freeze before activation.
For best results, activate the indicator immediately before placing it into cold storage. This ensures maximum monitoring lifetime.
A bright pink indicator means safe temperatures have been maintained. A clear or faded indicator signals a potential temperature excursion.
Match the indicator’s signal temperature to your storage conditions. Visit the ordering guide for recommendations.
