About

The founding team at Minus80 Monitoring brings a deep level of experience in critical system monitoring to our solution that is specifically tailored for the laboratory environment.  Our company’s purpose is to help protect research by preventing loss that occurs when any type of storage unit fails.

Minus80 Monitoring recognizes the unique needs of facilities, especially research labs that depend on critical temperature monitoring of their storage units. We understand that providing notification and alerting of critical information allows for immediate action so samples are not compromised.  Additionally, we have discovered the information collected provides key information that can be applied towards sustainability initiatives via door use and recovery time features. Collectively, this can help to improve energy awareness and lab protocols. In today’s mobile world, Minus80’s monitoring system allows access to real time monitoring data from wherever you are, helping you to prevent loss and mitigate risk.

Minus80 strives to partner and collaborate with other companies, labs, and facilities as we provide this robust, cloud-based monitoring, alarming, and reporting solution via a low cost subscription service to the academic research, biotechnology and life sciences industry.  With Minus80 Monitoring, our customers can have peace of mind while they focus on their work and leave the monitoring to us.

  • Minus80 Monitoring has given the University an effective campus-wide solution to monitoring equipment and spaces that contain priceless research. The individually configurable units have directly alerted our researchers of failing equipment, open freezer doors, and abnormal room conditions. The system has saved lifetimes of research samples and have given our Principal Investigators peace of mind.

  • Working with Minus80 has been an ideal partnership for our needs. They are accommodating of and responsive to our needs, and highly flexible with requests with what are frequent changes for our department’s needs. Normally, dealing with such changes might prove to be a hassle, but they ensure that it is as seamless as possible and their notification services and equipment are as reliable as their personnel are friendly and accommodating.

  • It is a pleasure to have a working relationship with Minus80 to monitor all ultra-low freezers, liquid nitrogen tanks, incubators, water detection devices, laboratory freezers and refrigerators at Duke Human Vaccine Institute. Duke currently has over 1100 devices monitored by Minus80 in multiple buildings. I have been on call for freezer alarms for nearly 40 years and I have seen the evolution of monitoring as both a researcher and facilities manager. Minus80 is by far the best and most responsive monitoring company we have used. The staff is always available and any questions about sales or support are quickly answered. Every day when I leave the lab I rest assured that all essential equipment is closely monitored and I will receive a phone call, a text, and an email if all parameters are not within the set points.

  • We were not happy with our previous freezer monitoring system and then we found Minus 80. Before Minus 80, we could only monitor the freezer temperature. Now we monitor internal temp, ambient (room) temp, humidity, and freezer doors, as well as light (there are additional sensors that can be monitored if needed) Because we are able to monitor the doors our users can check online if the door to the freezer is open. If it is after hours, users can simply call someone to close the door, or in the case that the door was opened prior to the temperature alarm, the user can monitor the temperature to determine if the door was the cause of the alarm. We receive alerts via text, email, and phone calls.

  • We are extremely grateful for the exceptional service and value pricing provided by Minus80 Monitoring. Our relationship with Minus80 Monitoring began 3 years ago, and their support team has always been very responsive to requests for assistance or usability improvements. They currently monitor 45 units from our laboratory. Their system runs smoothly and effectively. For example, we experienced a freezer failure on a Saturday morning. The system immediately sent out alerts via phone and text. We quickly traveled to our laboratory to transfer priceless research materials to a back-up freezer. Minus80 Monitoring saved years of research. Thank you!

  • Minus80 Monitoring's temperature monitoring system not only enables easy and convenient monitoring, it also provides reporting on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Alarm set-points are easily assigned and alarm notifications are completely configurable. This combination of ease of use, flexibility, and power, is unmatched in the temperature monitoring market.

  • Minus80 Monitoring has demonstrated the utmost commitment to Rockefeller and I don’t feel like there has been a lapse whatsoever in your attention to any issue here at Rockefeller. I can't say that about ANY other company we use. Once they get the contact, service generally slips, but not with you. I am glad we partnered with you and hope that we become your largest client one day. We have many more pieces of equipment that could and should be converted to the Minus80 system.
