Research Lab Monitoring
Cold Storage & Deep Freezers
Monitoring for research and university lab environments covering –80°C ULT freezers, –20°C freezers, 4°C refrigerators, and LN₂ tanks. Provides centralized dashboards, multi-channel probe support, and optional LIMS integration for full lab equipment visibility.
Centralized Research Lab Oversight
Research and university labs run a heterogeneous mix of equipment — ULT freezers, standard –20°C freezers, cold rooms, refrigerators, and LN2 dewars — each with different alarm requirements and often maintained by different research groups with no single point of oversight. This offering brings every piece of temperature-sensitive equipment in the lab under one centralized dashboard, eliminating the blind spots that come from relying on individual unit alarms.
How it's deployed
A single gateway infrastructure covers the full lab footprint, with sensor types matched to each unit: PT-1000 probes for ULT and cryogenic equipment and standard digital sensors for refrigerators and –20°C freezers. Multi-channel probe input allows a single connected unit to monitor multiple chambers or racks, and optional LIMS integration pushes temperature records directly into existing laboratory information management systems without manual data entry.
Evidence & Reporting
The platform produces equipment-specific temperature records in formats compatible with institutional compliance requirements and, where applicable, supports EN12830-aligned cold storage documentation for audits. For labs pursuing ISO 17025 accreditation, continuous calibration-traceable sensor data provides the measurement uncertainty and traceability documentation required by accreditation bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Seemoto sensors are installed externally via probe ports or through the door gasket and operate independently of the freezer's own electronics, so there is no dependency on the manufacturer's alarm output or communication protocol. Any freezer model that can accept a probe can be monitored.
Temperature data is exported via a configurable API or flat-file feed that maps to standard LIMS data import formats, and custom integration work is available for laboratory-specific systems. This eliminates manual transcription of temperature records into sample management workflows and maintains a direct link between sample provenance data and storage condition history.
Each user can be assigned to specific equipment groups, so a research group receives alerts only for their designated freezers while the lab manager retains full coverage. This prevents alert fatigue from irrelevant alarms while ensuring that someone is always responsible for each piece of equipment.
