Shane Tully
Biokinetic Europe
BioKinetic Europe uses the Kelsius system to monitor the temperature of over 13 refrigerators and freezers and the temperature and humidity of four environments.
The Kelsius system helps us to ensure compliance. The 24/7 alerts ensure that any temperature excursions are dealt with immediately. We have the ability to print out temperature graphs in one click for study files, audit or inspections.
The portal is extremely user friendly, and queries directed to the Kelsius support team are always answered promptly and in a friendly and professional manner. Highly recommended.
Ashleigh Wilson
Quality Assurance Manager
Sigma-Aldrich
Kelsius sensors provide 24/7 monitoring of our GMP storage areas. Email alerts when temperature/humidity go out of range allows for prompt corrective action. The online system is user friendly and access to sensor data can be restricted. The system generates graphs and reports for easy interpretation of data. Calibration information for the sensors on site is readily available which is beneficial during audits.
The Kelsius support team are extremely helpful. Queries are always responded to promptly.
Claudine Kavanagh
Quality Assurance Engineer
Marine Institute
We had a smooth transition to the Kelsius temperature monitoring system and it was readily assimilated into our Quality Management System.
The Kelsius system simply works in the background and provides us with reliable on-going monitoring of over 100 items of equipment.
The support from the Kelsius Team has been immense, queries are always responded to promptly.
The system is practical to use and also saves time. Data is available to all staff at any time, using a simple login. Daily and weekly reports by email have allowed a paperless system to be rationalised throughout the laboratories.
Overall it’s an extremely efficient and effective system.
Dr.Yvonne Bogan
Quality Manager
Central and North West London NHS, St Charles Hospital
“The Kelsius equipment and monitoring portal have been invaluable tools for helping us maintain the strict storage requirements for our Covid-19 vaccine stock. 24-7 alerts allow us to respond to any temperature issues even outside of normal working hours. This has prevented us from wasting any of these precious vaccines as a result of refrigeration failure.”
Steve Hopkins
Pharmacy Information Systems Manager, Central and North West London NHS FT, St Charles Hospital
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells
"We have installed the Kelsius temperature monitoring system throughout the Pharmacy and Aseptic Departments at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells hospital sites.
We wanted to replace Min/Max temperature loggers with a state-of-the-art web-based temperature monitoring system. The new system’s aim was to improve quality control of pharmaceutical products; reduce risk of product loss due to temperature deviations; minimise human errors; save operational time; and record temperature 24x7; alert designated members of staff in the event of a temperature excursion; and comply with legislative and regulatory requirements.
The Kelsius temperature monitoring system meets all our requirements and expectations."
Satish Kumar
Pharmacy Technician
St. Vincents University Hospital
"The Kelsius system has provided reliable temperature monitoring in 90 medication fridges across the hospital and makes 24hr monitoring in all areas possible.
It has ensured rapid response to deviation from recommended temperatures and provided important data about fridges and allows trends to be identified.
The potential financial savings within a three-month period was approximately €120,000 if all stock involved had to be discarded."
Caitriona Reilly & Paul Tighe
Pharmacy Department
Letterkenny General Hospital
"When faced with cold chain failure, the system on an annual basis more than pays for itself contributing significantly to product quality assurance and overall patient safety."
Colm Devine
Chief Pharmacist
Forth Valley Royal Hospital
"The system is user-friendly and weekly reports, graphs and reports can be accessed and interrogated thoroughly. Kelsius staff are always professional, approachable and keen to assist with any issues, queries or future project work.
We have recommended Kelsius to other NHS health boards and pharmacies and would continue to do so in the future."
Daniel Kelly

Abertawe Bromorgannwg HB
"The offsite facility using the Kelsius system is a major benefit and offers us great flexibly. We can access our records from any web-enabled device via the Kelsius Web portal. The ability to include monitoring of satellite fridges at various locations greatly streamlines our procedures, allowing for better management centrally.
Both the system itself and the web portal are very user-friendly and allow us to follow best practices. The result is that we can further underline the safety of product that we provide to our patients and can show complete transparency in audits.
I would highly recommend the Kelsius system to anyone who currently has a need for temperature monitoring."
Barbara Sullivan
Bloodtransfusion Manager, Abertawe BroMorgannwg University Health Board, Wales
Central Manchester University Hospitals
"The Kelsius system replaced a manual system of temperature recording which was time consuming and inadequate for our requirements. GMIS was the first pathology laboratory in the UK to achieve accreditation to ISO standard 15189 of UKAS. Use of the Kelsius temperature monitoring system strengthened our position and ability to successfully achieve this quality standard.
Kelsius provides a means of monitoring a bank of fridges, freezers and incubators continually in real time. In the event of a temperature deviation, laboratory personnel are notified immediately and can rectify any issues. The system has proved very reliable and robust and has not broken down once."
Andy Moran
Chief Biomedical Scientist
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.
Why choose Kelsius over traditional methods?
- No manual paperwork or spreadsheets
- Real-time monitoring and alerts, 24/7/365
- Remote access from desktop, tablet, or mobile
- Automated, tamperproof reports and audit logs
- Easy to install and scale across multiple lab sites
Kelsius provides peace of mind that your laboratory conditions are always monitored, recorded, and compliant.
