Abstract

Equipment monitoring (e.g., freezers, incubators) plays a vital role in specimen storage infrastructure. Monitoring solutions are often associated with a significant initial expense and short-term operational lifespan due to expensive contracts or suppliers going out of business. Numerous incidents of "monitored" lab equipment failing without notice have been reported. This has led to the loss of irreplaceable research material and severely impacted careers. In pursuit of a universally accessible solution, we deployed and now have over 15 years of continuous experience using residential alarm systems for laboratory monitoring. In this communication, it is presented how home alarm systems, designed for robust, fail-safe monitoring, can be used to augment commercially available solutions. Provided are high-level descriptions of how to deploy these solutions for equipment monitoring and how to expand their use into other monitoring tasks.

一个强大的,廉价的解决方案,报警监测冷冻箱,孵化器,和其他生物银行设备基于现成的,易于部署的家庭报警设备。
设备监控(如冰柜、孵化器)在标本储存基础设施中起着至关重要的作用。由于昂贵的合同或供应商倒闭,监控解决方案通常伴随着巨大的初始费用和短期的运营寿命。据报道,许多“受监控的”实验室设备在没有通知的情况下发生故障的事件。这导致了不可替代的研究材料的损失,并严重影响了职业生涯。为了追求一个普遍可访问的解决方案,我们部署并拥有超过15年使用住宅报警系统进行实验室监控的连续经验。在本通信中,介绍了如何使用为稳健,故障安全监控而设计的家庭报警系统来增强商用解决方案。提供了如何部署这些设备监控解决方案以及如何将其扩展到其他监控任务的高级描述。

期刊介绍: Biopreservation and Biobanking is the first journal to provide a unifying forum for the peer-reviewed communication of recent advances in the emerging and evolving field of biospecimen procurement, processing, preservation and banking, distribution, and use. The Journal publishes a range of original articles focusing on current challenges and problems in biopreservation, and advances in methods to address these issues related to the processing of macromolecules, cells, and tissues for research. In a new section dedicated to Emerging Markets and Technologies, the Journal highlights the emergence of new markets and technologies that are either adopting or disrupting the biobank framework as they imprint on society. The solutions presented here are anticipated to help drive innovation within the biobank community. Biopreservation and Biobanking also explores the ethical, legal, and societal considerations surrounding biobanking and biorepository operation. Ideas and practical solutions relevant to improved quality, efficiency, and sustainability of repositories, and relating to their management, operation and oversight are discussed as well.
