Tudor House Garforth, Leeds, Yorkshire:
Spectronic Analytical Instruments [Spectronic] has been chosen by RAG to supply its wireless temperature monitoring systems into the highly specialised area of laboratory refrigeration.
It is vitally important to many research projects and investigations, as well as more regular testing procedures, that laboratory samples and cultures are stored in refrigerated units at the correct temperature. Traditionally these temperatures have been monitored by laboratory staff and technicians taking manual thermometer readings on a regular basis, a procedure which is labour intensive and open to human error.
RAG’s fully automated wireless temperature monitoring systems are suitable for installations involving a small or large number of monitoring points, and can be configured as independent or networked solutions. The software which controls and monitors each temperature point, which runs on a standard Windows™ based PC, can be configured to provide laboratory specific requirements relating to procedures involving alarms and actions, real-time data transfer, job assignments, reports and audit trails.

Meeting the exacting requirements of the food, medical, pharmaceutical and life sciences industries makes these temperature monitoring systems suitable for a wide number of laboratories, and Spectronic’s Mark Brereton is anticipating steadily increasing sales in the early months of 2009, saying:
“My colleagues and I meet laboratory staff virtually every day of the week. Without doubt, manual temperature monitoring of refrigerated samples and cultures is an area of concern in many laboratories. Offering an excellent return on investment through a significant saving in staff time, RAG’s products eliminate all the issues and concerns associated with a tedious manual process.”
Spectronic is a leading specialist supplier of a range of laboratory equipment and instruments, acting as the UK’s authorised sales and service distributor for many of the world’s leading scientific equipment manufacturers.
