System connects to almost any probe including temperature and CO2, and it can even monitor when a door is opened and closed - or not closed properly
GT Bio has launched its new IKS JS2003 laboratory monitoring system.
The system monitors incubators, ovens, freezers, ultra-low temperature freezers, plant growth cabinets, laminar flow environments, refrigerators, autoclaves, waterbaths and CO2 incubators, in fact any laboratory environment.
It connects to almost any probe including temperature and CO2, it can even monitor when a door is opened and closed (or not closed properly).
Based on many years experience of installing and developing laboratory environment monitoring systems the IKS JS2003 is used to securely gather vast amounts of data effortlessly.
Simple or complex alarm scenarios can be set so that, for instance when the temperature in a cabinet that has a programmed temperature cycle moves outside defined limits, an e-mail or pager message can be sent to an installations manager in addition to on-screen and audible alarms.
Data is securely recorded and can be stored, printed and reviewed by users who have access privileges.
The system meets all FDA and other quality regulations and includes a full audit trail.
JS2003 can be used to monitor a few instruments in a single lab or a whole department or a whole building or a whole site or even multiple sites, all through a single, multi-level access interface.
For instance a hospital systems manager can monitor all bloodbanks in the hospital and be alerted to any problems as well as keep a complete record of each bloodbank's performance.
The system is managed through a secure webserver and can be connected through wireless networking.
Every system is installed by qualified engineers and validated before use.
This makes the system outstandingly flexible, very secure and easily scalable to include additional devices as they come into the lab.
Ian Baldwin of GT Bio says "The JS2003 will hugely enhance the ability of any lab to be sure that processes involving incubators and freezers were properly controlled.
"They know immediately something goes wrong and can even look at the output reports and see the performance of each instrument over time, truly a valuable resource."
