Unboxing & Activation

See a complete walkthrough of unboxing and activating a CryoVeritas indicator — from package to protection in just a few simple steps.

Three Simple Steps

CryoVeritas indicators are designed for simplicity. No training, calibration, or equipment required.

1

Turn the Cap

Remove the indicator from its packaging and twist the cap to break the internal seal. This mixes the two components inside the vial.

2

Shake Until Pink

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.

3

Place & Monitor

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.

Tips for Success

Follow these guidelines to get the most reliable results from your CryoVeritas indicators.

Store Before Activation

Keep unused indicators at room temperature in their original packaging. Do not refrigerate or freeze before activation.

Activate Just Before Use

For best results, activate the indicator immediately before placing it into cold storage. This ensures maximum monitoring lifetime.

Check Visually

A bright pink indicator means safe temperatures have been maintained. A clear or faded indicator signals a potential temperature excursion.

Choose the Right Variant

Match the indicator’s signal temperature to your storage conditions. Visit the ordering guide for recommendations.
