Remote Cryogenic Storage Monitoring Systems 101: All You Need to Know
Generally speaking, it is always important to keep track of cryogenic storage units’ different parameters for a number of good reasons.
First, cryogenic storage involves extremely low temperatures, often beneath -150oC (-238oF). So monitoring parameters like temperature, humidity, pressure, liquid levels, carbon dioxide levels, oxygen levels, airflow and more ensures that such storage units operate within safe limits.
Deviations from default conditions in cryogenic storage systems can indicate potential hazards including excessive pressure buildup or loss of cryogenic fluids.
Cryogenic storage is frequently utilized for the preservation and storage of biological samples, vaccines, and pharmaceuticals along with other sensitive materials.
Tracking conditions such as temperature and humidity helps in the maintenance of the required parameters for preserving the integrity and viability of these substances. Any fluctuations are known to result in the degradation or loss of stored materials.
Tracking the conditions of cryogenic storage units facilitates the optimization of their performance too.
Founded in 2008 in Greenfield, Indiana, Sonicu began manufacturing noise monitoring to protect vulnerable infants in neonatal intensive care units, and has evolved to monitor and protect a diverse set of sensitive conditions and environments.
