Laboratories

Are you a startup, R&D, a global manufacturing organization, and/or do you require validation? Regardless of your situation, repeatable experiments are key to advancing the pipeline. But how do you eliminate variables from your lab to ensure accurate, reliable, and consistent results? How can you preserve capital, stay compliant, and prevent asset loss? Do you truly understand why your experiments might be failing?

How We Do It

Effective environmental monitoring is the answer. Each piece of equipment has its unique machine fingerprint that can introduce subtle differences in your results.

At XiltriX, our decades of expertise and knowledge enable us to navigate these nuances. Our 24/7 live agents acts as an extension of your team, enabling your staff to focus on science. Rather than depending on scientists to handle emergencies, protect your assets and advance your research by partnering with an experienced environmental monitoring provider who can help you understand reports and use data to improve SOPs and ensure a stable environment.

Equipment

Incubators

Incubators are vital for growing and maintaining cell cultures.

- Temperature Sensors: These sensors monitor the desired cold temperatures to preserve sample quality.
- CO₂/O₂ Sensors: These sensors monitor gas concentrations to ensure an optimal environment.
- Humidity Sensors: These sensors monitor moisture levels to avoid desiccation and ensure cell culture health.
- Door Contacts: Detect door status to prevent fluctuations and prevent contamination.
- Digital Alarm Output: We integrate with the device to provide general alerts.

Fridge (4°C)

Fridges are used for short-term storage of reagents and biological samples.

- Temperature Sensors: These sensors monitor the desired cold temperatures to preserve sample quality.
- Door Sensors: Detect door status to prevent temperature fluctuations caused by frequent openings.
- Power Consumption: Monitoring power usage helps identify potential issues with a unit’s performance and efficiency. It also aids in preventive maintenance by signaling when a freezer may need servicing to avoid unexpected failures.

Freezers (-20°C, -80°C, -140°C)

Ultra-low temperature freezers are used for different types of sample storage, each requiring precise temperature control. Monitoring alerts for any deviations that could compromise sample quality is critical.

- Temperature Sensors: These sensors monitor the unit to ensure no temperature deviations. This is crucial for sample preservation.
- Door Sensors: Detect door openings to prevent temperature changes that could compromise sample stability.
- Power Consumption: Monitoring power usage helps identify potential issues with a unit’s performance and efficiency. It also aids in preventive maintenance by signaling when a freezer may need servicing to avoid unexpected failures.

Cryotanks

Cryotanks provide ultra-low temperature storage for biological samples. To ensure LN2 levels stay consistent, the manifold type can significantly influence your ability to monitor remotely, making it crucial to understand the available options when choosing one.

- Level Sensors: These sensors measure liquid nitrogen levels to ensure samples are not exposed to unsafe temperatures.
- Pressure Sensors: These sensors monitor internal tank pressure to detect leaks or excessive pressure situations.
- Digital Alarm Output: We integrate with bulk tank controllers to provide general alerts.

Gas Manifold

Gas manifolds are responsible for distributing gasses to various laboratory equipment. The type of manifold chosen greatly influences your remote monitoring capabilities, making it essential to carefully consider the available options when making a selection.

- Gas Flow Sensors: These sensors monitor the flow of gasses through the manifold.
- Inline Gas Pressure: Precise gas pressure control is essential for many applications. Gas pressure sensors are used to monitor inline gas pressure, ensuring stable and consistent conditions.
- Dry Contacts / 4-20mA Outputs: Digital gas manifolds provide the capability to remotely monitor various parameters like level, pressure, and automatic switchover. It's important to consult with your vendor to ensure you select the options that are most crucial for your team.

Flow Hoods

Flow Hoods provide safe environments for sensitive experiments.

- Airflow Sensors: These sensors monitor consistent airflow within the hood.
- Digital Alarm Output: We integrate with the device to provide general alerts.

Vacuum Pump

Vacuum pumps are used to create low-pressure environments for various applications.

- Vacuum Sensors: These sensors monitor vacuum levels to ensure the correct operation of the pump.
- Digital Alarm Output: We integrate with the device to provide general alerts.

Microscope

A microscope is a precision optical instrument designed to magnify and resolve fine details of minute specimens, facilitating their detailed examination at the cellular level. XiltriX can measure the heating stage of microscopes where required.

Autoclave

An autoclave is a sterilization device that utilizes saturated steam under high pressure to achieve microbial decontamination of laboratory equipment and media. Operating typically at 121°C and 15 psi, it ensures the effective elimination of all forms of microbial life, including spores, thus maintaining aseptic conditions critical for reliable experimental outcomes. XiltriX can interface with these devices to ensure runs have been effectively executed.
