HELSINKI, FINLAND -- (Marketwire) -- 05/02/12 -- Vaisala, global leader in environmental measurement specializing in reducing risk for life science companies, has launched a new cold-chain solution with their CCL100 Cold Chain temperature data logger. The introduction of CCL100 further complements Vaisala's portfolio of monitoring and measurement systems for temperature and other critical parameters in life science environments and processes.

"In speaking to life science industry professionals who handle complicated logistical processes, we learned that the simpler the cold chain device, the better. Other things being equal, a simple solution is better than a more complex one," said Jim Tennermann, Business Segment Manager for Vaisala Life Science. "Our loggers provide the most accurate data and critical documentation via the simplest delivery system possible."

Unlike many other cold chain temperature monitors, the Vaisala CCL100 features a thin, compact size for easy placement and more accurate sensing from surface reads on the product as opposed to ambient conditions. The data loggers do not require special readers or proprietary software; any computer equipped with Adobe Acrobat reader will generate a comprehensive report when the logger is connected to the USB port. Further increasing the simplicity of the loggers, each comes pre-programmed for the environment in which it will be used. Vaisala also provides a draft SOP for users to customize to their Quality System's requirements.

Ideal for monitoring the temperature of vaccines, pharmaceuticals, biologics, and other life science products during distribution, the Vaisala Cold Chain temperature data logger reduces the risk of product degradation during shipping in the easiest possible way.
