Temperature Monitoring for Life Sciences

Protect the samples that power your research.

Labs are home to specimens that take years to replicate — or are simply irreplaceable. Prevent costly losses with cloud-based CORIS monitoring that reduces human error and supports regulatory compliance across every cold storage unit in your facility.

Why labs choose CORIS

Built for the realities of laboratory cold storage.

Real-Time Data & Alerts

When excursions cross your thresholds, researchers and facilities staff are notified instantly by phone, email, or text — anywhere, anytime.

Simple to Install & Use

Plug-and-play sensors and an intuitive web dashboard. A 30-minute training course is all your team needs to get going.

Network & Data Security

Encrypted readings, permanent immutable storage, and a footprint that drops cleanly into your existing IT infrastructure.

One platform, every storage unit

From cryogenic LN2 to +37° incubators.

CORIS monitors the full temperature range used in modern life sciences labs — with sensors and probes purpose-built for each environment.

Down to -196°C

LN2 Tanks & Dewars

Continuously monitor liquid nitrogen levels and vapor-phase temperatures in cryogenic storage — protecting cell lines, embryos, and long-term biorepositories.

-80°C / -40°C / -20°C

-80°C ULT Freezers

Detect compressor failure within minutes. Most ULTs give staff a 4–6 hour window before samples are compromised — CORIS buys back every minute.

+4°C through +37°C

Refrigerators & Incubators

Monitor reagent fridges, blood storage (2–6°C), media refrigerators, and CO₂ incubators — with two-wire interface support for native alarm ports.

Use cases

Trusted across the life sciences.

Temperature Monitoring For

Research Labs

Cold storage devices are mechanical and they fail. Real-time monitoring gives you the insight to act quickly and prevent the loss of irreplaceable specimens and samples.

  • Automatic reporting with a permanent record of all data and alerts
  • Door sensors alert when freezer or refrigerator doors are ajar
  • Real-time humidity monitoring across the lab environment

Temperature Monitoring For

Blood Banks

Blood becomes a breeding ground for bacterial growth when storage temperatures rise. Maintain the required 2°C–6°C window and prevent contamination before it happens.

  • Automatic reporting with a permanent record of all data and alerts
  • Open-door detection so warm air cannot seep inside
  • Real-time leak detection from drain lines and adjacent systems

Temperature Monitoring For

Breast Milk Storage

Milk banks need to prove safety, not just maintain it. Continuous surveillance produces the data required by the health department, FDA, and other regulators.

  • Automated temperature logs and reports
  • Open-door detection on refrigerators and freezers
  • Water leak detection around pasteurization equipment
How to choose

The criteria that matter when picking a lab monitoring system.

We built CORIS against the same checklist labs use when evaluating vendors — so every requirement is covered out of the box.

Wide Range Coverage

Monitor -250°C to +250°C — one platform for cryo, ULT, refrigeration, incubators, and ovens.

LoRaWAN, not Wi-Fi

Long-range wireless penetrates walls and equipment where Wi-Fi degrades and drops.

Compliance-Ready Logs

Permanent, tamper-proof data logging that supports CDC, FDA, and CAP audit requirements.

Tiered Escalation

Three-tier alert escalation by severity, time of day, and on-call rotation.

Power-Outage Resilient

Battery-backed sensors keep logging through outages so no excursion goes unrecorded.

Secure by Default

Encrypted transit, immutable storage, and a deployment your IT team will actually approve.

Complementary products

Build a complete lab monitoring system.

Door Open Sensors

Catch freezers left ajar before product warms.

Water Leak Detection

Alerts when ⅛ inch of water is detected near critical equipment.

Alarm Port Interface

Two-wire interface for incubators and lab equipment with native alarm ports.

“CORIS provides true peace of mind. The customizable alerts let me spot potential problems before they are real problems, and the intuitive graphs let my team diagnose fluctuations and temperature spikes. No more 4 a.m. trips to the lab because of a brief power outage.”

— Gerry Hammond, Assistant Professor, Department of Cell Biology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
