Precision Monitoring for Animal Research Facility Management
Vivariums or “holding rooms” require constant vigilance. Whether you require lab GLP environmental monitoring or non-GLP oversight, consistent monitoring is essential for study integrity and compliance, with 21 CFR Part 11-aligned histories and role-based access.
Elemental Machines’ specialized vivarium services provide 24/7 laboratory monitoring of critical conditions, including temperature, humidity, and light exposure, with real-time alerts and audit-ready records. This ensures that your research facility maintains optimal conditions for animal and plant research, safeguarding your regulatory compliance.
Complete Control Over Your Holding Room Environment
Elemental Machines helps research facility management teams eliminate manual recordkeeping, and reduce the hassles of lab ambient temperature and humidity monitoring with environmental monitoring audit readiness tools (finally!). Replacing outdated processes with real-time data visibility and automated compliance reporting delivers numerous timesaving and compliance-enhancing benefits, including:
- Real-time monitoring & alerting: Immediate notifications for out-of-spec conditions with configurable escalation paths
- Automated data recording: Reduce manual tracking & simplify compliance efforts to support GLP/GxP inspections
- Regulatory readiness: Straightforward audit reporting with digital records
- Customizable thresholds: Tailor environmental parameters for your organization’s research needs
- Redundancy built-in: Meet accreditation standards with backup data pathways and real-time notifications
- Security enhancement: Optional door sensors can detect unexpected access, helping prevent incidents like animal escapes or power-related disruptions, with Floorplans helping teams locate the issue fast
Case Study: The Lundquist Institute (formerly LA BioMed) Ditches Manual Logging and Becomes Compliant
The Lundquist Institute (formerly LA BioMed) animal research facility was monitoring environmental conditions manually. This made regulatory audits inefficient and laborious, and it took precious time away from research efforts. After switching to Elemental Machines, they fully automated temperature, humidity, and light level monitoring, achieving:
- 24/7 compliance monitoring
- Significant time and cost savings
- Improved study accuracy with continuous data records
