“In the cryo and ultra-low temperature industry, there’s no room for error when it involves temperature monitoring. Sonicu’s Temperature Monitoring Program provides Cryopoint peace of mind and bolsters our clients’ confidence in what we do.”

Tony Donofrio, Vice President of Operations, Cryopoint

Cryopoint is in the serious business of protecting priceless yet highly perishable assets like clinical trials or research samples.

Cryopoint offers a full range of on- and off-site cryopreservation services to a diverse client base that includes hospitals, university research departments, biotech enterprises, physicians’ groups, and pharmaceutical companies.

Cryopoint is a premier global provider of comprehensive sample management and biological storage solutions.

That sort of reputation and trust are built on more than just technology.

Even its location, based just outside Indianapolis in Brownsburg, Indiana, is a deliberate attempt to avoid Mother Nature’s unpredictable wrath. Their website features a map showing its location relative to the likelihood of natural disasters.

When you’re in the business of protecting - potentially for decades - lifesaving research and truly irreplaceable biological samples, the Cryopoint team invests in technology partners who can bolster their operations and provide their customers with powerful peace of mind. 

That translates to ensuring sample safety and security with constant temperature monitoring under the most demanding conditions.

When storing extremely sensitive, expensive, and, in many cases, irreplaceable biologic samples and specimens at temperatures hovering near minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit, Cryopoint required an environmental monitoring partner with more than reliable, rugged wireless monitoring and intuitive software. 

Cryopoint’s demanding operation required consistent, accurate temperature monitoring and measuring to avoid a catastrophic loss. And that means working with a trusted provider with dozens of references from reputable laboratories and healthcare providers. 

Cryopoint enjoys far more than simple asset monitoring with its Sonicu solution. 

Their investment in a cloud-based, wireless remote asset monitoring system also provided a wealth of features to improve their operational efficiency, including: 

• User-defined parameters tailored to urgency levels for automatic escalation and forwarding eliminated concerns about operational integrity and sample safety at all locations.
• Improved and enhanced response time for potential temperature excursions for increased security and customer satisfaction.

Single Platform/Total Accessibility

• Cloud-based data and alarming platforms are accessible from any desktop, email, or smartphone anytime, anywhere, ensuring constant connection to Cryopoint’s operations, even when the facility is unstaffed.
• The central portal provides real-time temperature views, daily and monthly reports, and weekly summaries by device on one customizable dashboard.

Smart Management Tools

• Eliminated manual temperature reading and logging to increase efficiency and eliminate errors.
• Allowed Cryopoint to input comments and context for alarm events and automatically organize reports for federal and state regulatory reporting requirements.
• Provide archived historical data to identify potential equipment problems, define operational issues and improve processes and accountability.

Simple Installation and Expansion

• Sonicu ultra-low temperature monitoring is installed easily and is fully scalable for future expansion as Cryopoint’s business continues to develop.
