The vast majority of Laboratory and Pharmaceutical Research facilities require standards accreditation for the facility, which more often than not demands a 24/7 Temperature and Humidity Monitoring system. These systems are essential to ensure the integrity of samples and products used at the facility and the quality of the work carried out.
