[Histonet] ANP. 23075

[Morken, Tim]

A cheap solution for the weekend is to get some electronic thermometers that record the high and low (Fisher has certified electronic thermometers pretty cheap). Then for the weekend you can document what the high and low was for that time period.

Also, for critical reagents like antibodies, a chart recorder gives more information. And an alarm is helpful if it actually breaks down. 

There are temperature-monitoring software/hardware packages that you can put on your equipment that will record all instruments at once and, when connected to the internet, will call or email you if something goes out of range. They start as low a $1,500. 

You can also get temperature data loggers. They look like small batteries. You just put them in the place you want to log a temperature and they log the temp at intervals you program them for - like every minute, hour, whatever. Then you put them in a reader and download the info to a software program that allows you to make graphs. They are also great for logging temps when shipping items that are temperature sensitive.

If you do not have staff in on weekends/holidays, how do you monitor your temperatures then?

I interpret this to mean that I, as the supervisor, need to document
monthly that temps have been recorded and instrument maintenance has
been recorded.  I review and initial temp and maintenance charts at the
end of each month to make sure that it has been done and that temps are
in range.
