Glass thermometers and weekly manual downloads have three failure modes that inspectors increasingly won't accept: excursions between downloads go undetected, calibration drift is invisible, and recorded values can't be independently verified. CAP and CLIA both expect continuous monitoring with NIST-traceable accuracy and a documented alert-response trail.
The Laboratory Kit gives you NIST-traceable sensors for a reagent refrigerator and an ultra-low freezer, paired with a redundant gateway pair so a Wi-Fi hiccup or a single gateway failure never breaks the audit chain. ISO 17025-traceable calibration certificates archive automatically against each sensor's serial in iMatrix Cloud.
What's included
1× NEO-1D NIST — display + NIST calibration cert, for the reagent refrigerator (2–8 °C)
1× NEO-1P NIST — probe variant for the freezer core (more defensible than air-temp readings)
2× Micro Gateway — redundant pair with automatic failover
ISO 17025-traceable calibration certificates archived in iMatrix Cloud
CAP/CLIA-ready PDF reporting — signed, timestamped, formatted for inspection
Annual recalibration reminder with prepaid return shipping
Multi-channel alerts (push, email, SMS) with escalation until acknowledged
Ideal for
Research labs, clinical labs, blood banks, biotech QC, and small biorepositories. For full-facility deployments (15–40+ instruments), add NEO-IND for -80 °C ultra-low freezers and Series-1 mesh for whole-building coverage.
Why iMatrix
The redundant-gateway pair is what separates an audit-ready system from a single-point-of-failure logger. NIST certificates live under the sensor's serial number in the cloud — so when the inspector asks, you pull the cert from the same record as the data, not from a binder in a drawer. Records retain for the full accreditation window (typically 2+ years).
