Correct storage temperatures play a vital role in many laboratories.
For most laboratories, temperature is generally an important parameter, whether in pharmaceutical, medicine and biology or in industrial laboratories for chemical, physical or scientific applications.
What does a laboratory need to monitor?
In today’s modern laboratories you will find a variety of monitoring needs, temperature being one of the most monitored parameters. Temperature is often a very critical parameter when it comes to carrying out experiments and processes, quality assurance and the development of products, drug tests and medical research studies, or when calibrating instruments. It must, therefore, be checked, monitored and documented.
This leads to monitoring and recording of storage temperatures of perishable goods in cold rooms, refrigerators and freezers, cell cultures in incubators, blood preserves, medicines, valuables, room temperature in calibration laboratories and much more.
What to look out for?
The minimum requirement for monitoring temperatures in laboratories is the use of a Min/Max thermometer, which displays the respective minimum and maximum temperatures between two manual checks. However, such a Min/Max thermometer also bears its risks and inconveniences.
For one, the thermometer must be read consistently each day and the results recorded into a form, which must be maintained and archived. In addition, the staff in charge of the recording must be reliable and trustworthy.
The principle disadvantage of a Min/Max thermometer, however, is the inability to send out a reliable alarm in the case of threshold violation (preferably before any damage occurred)!
How do I check if the required temperature is maintained in my laboratory?
Nothing easier than that. The SenseAnywhere monitoring system allows you to keep on top of the temperatures in your laboratory. The system is easy to install and extremely intuitive to use. Keep track of the continuously recorded data at a glance - in the laboratory, at home or even while on the road. Configure temperature thresholds and get warned on the PC, by e-mail or SMS if these thresholds are violated - this is the only way to avoid damage before it occurs. On request, the system creates fully automatic reports for documentation and possible submission to inspectors.
And the best thing is... ...it doesn’t generate any extra work for you! Position the Sensor Modules where they need to monitor conditions, and after a simple and quick set-up phase, the monitoring system runs completely automatic and reliable - only drawing your attention when you need to step in.
