Automated temperature and humidity monitoring that safeguards your lab, ensures compliance, and eliminates manual errors—24/7 peace of mind for critical environments.
Whether storing vaccines, biological samples, trial materials or reagents, maintaining strict temperature and humidity control is essential. Any deviation can compromise sample integrity and lead to costly losses. Kelsius provides automated, wireless monitoring that ensures full compliance with industry regulations.
With real-time alerts, digital records and audit-ready data, laboratories can safeguard critical materials, eliminate manual errors and meet quality standards with confidence. Consistent, reliable environmental monitoring is key to laboratory safety, efficiency and operational success.
How Kelsius Temperature Monitoring Works for Laboratories
Kelsius provides a reliable, paperless temperature and humidity monitoring system specifically designed for laboratories, hospital pharmacies, and life science facilities.
Our CoolCheck solution uses precision wireless sensors to monitor critical storage environments in real time, including fridges, freezers, incubators, and ambient areas.
Temperature and humidity readings are recorded every five minutes and transmitted securely to the Kelsius Web Portal, offering full visibility, automated alerts, and instant access to live and historical data. If any reading exceeds predefined thresholds, the system sends immediate alerts via push notifications, email, SMS, or voice call, allowing designated personnel to act quickly and minimise the risk of sample spoilage or regulatory non-compliance.
CoolCheck ensures full compliance with MHRA, HPRA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GMP, and GxP standards. The system automatically generates tamperproof audit trails, downloadable reports, and complete digital records—removing the need for manual checks and paperwork. With secure remote access via the Kelsius App, laboratory staff can monitor conditions and resolve issues from anywhere, ensuring audit readiness, data integrity, and sample protection at all times.

Managing Director, Inish Pharmacy
Murray Pharmacies
"We have Kelsius temperature monitoring system in all our Pharmacies for a number of years now. Professional standards are raised using this system and it offers great peace of mind knowing my fridges and stock are being continuously monitored. This helps protect my business as I know all stock is maintained within correct temperature thresholds or else I will be alerted. This means I can protect against stock loss and the pain and cost that comes with an incident. The system also removes the need to manually check the temperature reducing my workload. Kelsius also monitor the humidity in Fridges which is off huge importance."
“The Kelsius system does all this while at the same time saving me around one working day per month which I can put to effective use in my business. I would highly recommend the Kelsius system to any retail pharmacy.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do laboratories need an automated temperature monitoring system?
Many laboratories still rely on manual temperature checks, which are time-consuming, error-prone, and lack real-time visibility. Manual processes often involve staff taking physical readings and inputting them into spreadsheets — wasting valuable time that could be spent on core research tasks. Kelsius eliminates this inefficiency by automating temperature and humidity monitoring across all lab environments.
How does the Kelsius CoolCheck system work for laboratory equipment?
Kelsius’ CoolCheck system uses high-precision wireless sensors placed within fridges, freezers, incubators, and ambient storage areas. These sensors automatically record readings every five minutes and securely upload data to the Kelsius Web Portal, where authorised users can access it from any device, anywhere.
What happens if there is a temperature excursion?
If temperature or humidity levels move outside your defined safe range, Kelsius instantly sends alerts via push notifications, email, SMS, or voice call. This allows designated staff to respond immediately, even out of hours, protecting valuable samples and avoiding compliance issues. Alerts can also notify staff of scheduled maintenance or required safety checks.
What types of laboratory equipment can CoolCheck monitor?
CoolCheck supports a wide range of critical lab equipment, including:
- 4°C refrigerators
- -20°C freezers
- -80°C ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers
- -200°C liquid nitrogen storage
- Incubators
- Ambient rooms, humidity zones, and pressure differentials
All data is centralised and accessible via a secure cloud portal, with no need for manual data handling.
Is Kelsius compliant with regulatory standards?
Yes. Kelsius is fully compliant with HPRA, MHRA, GxP, GMP, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. Our system provides a complete digital audit trail, secure login access, encrypted data transmission, and long-term record retention to support inspections and accreditation.
What are the risks of not having a monitoring system in place?
Without automated monitoring, labs risk losing irreplaceable research, compromising vaccines or samples, and failing audits. Manual logs can easily be missed, falsified, or lost. In environments requiring strict temperature control, a single failure can result in significant reputational and financial damage.
