Can you monitor benchtop incubators properly?

Yes. XiltriX designed probes and adapters that fit specific benchtop models, including the Esco Miri and Miri TL, CooperSurgical G185 and G210+, Merck Geri and Origio BT37, so the measurement is taken where the sample actually is.

Can you monitor equipment we already own?

In almost all cases, yes. Equipment is monitored independently, with our own sensors, rather than by trusting the device's internal readout. Where a device already provides a suitable output or contact, that can be brought in as well, including digital integration with Lighthouse particle counters.

Do you supply validation documentation?

Yes: URS and functional specification for design qualification, IQ documents recording the system as built, an OQ protocol with printed test evidence, and PQ procedures for recurring proof in normal use. Together they form the validation report you present at an audit.

Is XiltriX only for large sites?

No. Installations run from a single IVF laboratory with a handful of incubators to hospital estates and multi-site pharmaceutical operations under one contract.

How does a project start?

With a survey. A consultant walks the lab with you, lists the equipment that carries risk, and decides per device what has to be measured and where. That produces the sensor set, the alarm schema and the basis for the validation documentation.

Industries

Where losing something isn't an option.

XiltriX is deployed where the cost of a single incident is measured in patients, not tickets.

In short

Who uses XiltriX?

XiltriX is used in pharma and biotech laboratories, biobanks and biorepositories, cell and gene therapy facilities, contract research and manufacturing organisations, hospitals and healthcare systems, clinical and diagnostic laboratories, hospital pharmacies, nuclear pharmacies and radiopharmacy units, IVF and ART clinics, universities and research institutes, blood and tissue banks and food laboratories. In each of them the same question applies: which parameters carry risk, what happens the moment one drifts, and can you prove afterwards that it was handled.

IVF & ART

An embryo cannot be replaced. Temperature and CO₂ excursions are irreversible. Continuous incubator, CO₂ and cryo-storage monitoring, with warning bands that reach embryologists before hard alarms fire.

Proof · 20+ years partnering with leading ART centres including ETZ Tilburg and Hewitt Fertility.

Stories from the field

Fifteen years at Brussels IVF, one platform that kept growing

From cryogenic vessels to 23 benchtop incubators, cleanrooms, power and VOC levels, hosted inside the hospital IT network.

Biobanking & Cryobanking

Decades of research live inside a −80 °C freezer. One night can end it. Sensor-per-freezer coverage, LN₂ dewar level and pressure monitoring, and automated risk reporting per storage asset.

Proof · Trusted by Erasmus MC central biobank and biorepositories across three continents.

Stories from the field

Blood & Tissue Banks

A single unnoticed drift can invalidate an entire hospital's blood inventory. Purpose-designed monitoring for blood-storage refrigeration, plasma freezers and platelet incubators with GxP-aligned audit trails.

Proof · Deployed at national blood banks including Kuwait Central Blood Bank.

Biotech & Pharma

21 CFR Part 11 audit findings turn into product holds and revenue loss. GMP-validated monitoring, per-site or multi-site, with harmonised SOPs and evidence generated automatically.

Proof · Multi-site rollout across five Eurofins Netherlands laboratories.

Line drawing of a hospital pharmacy cleanroom

Hospitals & Healthcare

Pharmacy, ATMP labs, tissue rooms: all critical, all monitored differently. Unified monitoring across departments, with role-based UI and dashboards embedded in existing hospital IT.

Proof · 10+ years at Rijnstate Hospital Arnhem pharmacy; ATMP integration at Erasmus MC.

Stories from the field

Erasmus MC ATMP laboratory: proving control, continuously

Environmental monitoring across temperature, CO₂, humidity, differential pressure and particle counts, with real-time alarm services.

Line drawing of a cell and gene therapy cleanroom

Cell & Gene Therapy

Patient-specific therapies depend on stable conditions from collection through release. Continuous monitoring across cleanrooms, cryostorage and processing environments, with traceable records for every critical step and batch decision.

Proof · Environmental records support ATMP quality oversight, deviation review and batch release decisions.

Line drawing of a contract research and manufacturing facility

Contract Research & Manufacturing

Multiple sponsors and quality agreements increase the cost of fragmented environmental evidence. One monitoring view across controlled areas, equipment and sites, with responsibilities and deviations clearly traceable for each programme.

Proof · Structured evidence helps CRO and CDMO teams answer sponsor and quality reviews consistently.

Line drawing of a clinical diagnostic laboratory

Clinical & Diagnostic Laboratories

Samples, reagents and analysers rely on controlled conditions from receipt through reporting. Continuous monitoring of storage, laboratory and equipment conditions, with escalation paths aligned to the teams responsible for result integrity.

Proof · A traceable record supports accreditation, deviation investigation and continuity of diagnostic operations.

Line drawing of a university research facility

Universities & Research Institutes

Shared facilities hold years of research across freezers, incubators and specialist equipment. Central monitoring across departments and facilities, with clear ownership while allowing each research group to work within its own processes.

Proof · An accountable record protects continuity, reproducibility and irreplaceable research material.
