Logger
Yes
Pack-out margin is acceptable for planning. Include a logger for research-chain documentation.
Do not use for
- Validated shipping lane qualification without measured lane data and pack-out validation
Active transport beats hope
When margin is close, use active portable refrigeration or a validated shipper.
Loggers settle disputes
A temperature logger is inexpensive compared with losing irreplaceable samples.
