Introducing
Temperature Monitoring for Biobank Storage
Biobanks and biorepositories preserve biological specimens for clinical research, diagnostics, drug development and future scientific study. These valuable materials may need to remain in controlled storage for many years, making reliable environmental monitoring essential.
Withnell Sensors provides biobank storage monitoring solutions for refrigerators, freezers, ultra-low-temperature freezers, cryogenic storage and controlled storage rooms. Systems can monitor conditions continuously, maintain time-stamped records and alert nominated personnel when readings move outside selected limits.
Monitoring can cover individual storage units or be expanded across an entire biobank, multiple departments or several facilities. Authorised users can review current conditions, historical trends and alarm events through a central platform.
Our specialists can recommend suitable monitoring equipment based on your sample types, storage temperatures, equipment, reporting procedures and quality requirements.

Continuous Monitoring
Maintain automated, time-stamped records of conditions across critical sample-storage equipment.
Configurable Alarms
Notify nominated personnel when temperatures move outside selected limits or communication is interrupted.
Centralised Records
Bring measurements from multiple refrigerators, freezers, rooms and sites into one accessible system.
Scalable Coverage
Extend monitoring as your sample collection, equipment estate or biobanking facilities grow.
Recommended Biobank Monitoring Products
Withnell Sensors supplies standalone data loggers and connected monitoring equipment for biobank sample storage.

Biobank Sample Storage Monitoring
Biobank samples may be stored under several different conditions depending on their type, intended use and required preservation period. These can include refrigerated storage, standard frozen storage, ultra-low-temperature freezers and cryogenic systems.
Continuous sample storage monitoring provides visibility of these conditions without relying solely on periodic manual checks. Suitable sensors and data loggers can be installed across individual storage units, with measurements brought together in a central platform for review and reporting.
Configurable alarms provide an early warning of temperature excursions caused by equipment faults, power interruptions, open doors or other unexpected events. This allows nominated personnel to investigate and follow established response procedures before sample integrity is affected.
Withnell Sensors can help determine suitable monitoring points, probe arrangements, alarm limits, notification routes and reporting requirements for your biobank.
Temperature-Monitored Biorepository Storage
A biorepository may contain numerous storage systems operating across different temperature ranges. Maintaining oversight of this environment requires more than monitoring a single freezer or taking occasional temperature readings.
A connected monitoring system can provide central visibility across refrigerators, freezers, cryogenic storage equipment and controlled rooms. Authorised users can review current readings, compare historical trends, document alarm events and generate reports across multiple storage locations.
Temperature mapping can also be used to assess conditions throughout storage rooms and equipment. A mapping study helps identify hot and cold locations, evaluate temperature distribution and determine representative positions for permanent monitoring sensors.
Withnell Sensors provides monitoring equipment, calibration and temperature mapping support to help biorepositories maintain reliable environmental records and protect stored biological specimens.
