The bottom line for medical, pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers and labs depends on protecting materials from spoilage. Cold- or frozen-chain supplies, tissue samples, cultures, vaccines and blood products cannot be compromised by temperature changes from unexpected events, such as power outages or condenser malfunctions. Other products, such as tablets, must be protected from humidity and heat. Sensaphone’s new Web600 remote monitoring and alarm system helps users protect critical inventory and avoid the loss of these costly or irreplaceable materials.
 
Equipped with appropriate sensors, the Web600 system can monitor indoor temperatures down to -85 °C (-121 °F), making it well suited for use in ultra-low freezer storage and refrigerated facilities. This includes blood banks, drug and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, and medical cryogenics facilities. The Web600 is also the right solution for medical laboratories and research facilities that handle biological samples, vaccines and other materials that require refrigeration.
 
The Web600 monitoring and alarm notification system operates without monthly fees, and quickly and easily connects to any local network. Users have complete control via a user-friendly Web interface that allows them to program sensors, set thresholds, check current conditions and view time-stamped data logs for up to six sensors.
 
In addition to temperature, the unit can be equipped to monitor for humidity, air quality, water leaks, power outages and other threats. When conditions exceed established thresholds, the Web600 system notifies up to eight people via email and/or text message.
 
The Web600 system offers variable programmability that allows users to sample conditions at intervals from one second to one month. With an optional battery backup it can operate for up to two hours during a power outage.
