Safeguarding Cryopreservation: When Failure Isn’t an Option

Failures in cryogenic tank monitoring can lead to devastating losses—especially in fertility and biobanking, where irreplaceable tissues are stored. Too often, if remote alarms fail or are accidentally disabled, it can result in the loss of thousands of samples. Many viewLinc monitoring customers turned to our system after such incidents. Unlike standard alarms, viewLinc alerts personnel if a tank alarm is disabled—helping prevent failure before it happens.
