Humidity Monitoring Sensors

Control. Compliance. Confidence.

Humidity plays a critical role in the stability, safety, and quality of products and environments in pharmaceutical, biomedical, and research settings. Inaccurate or inconsistent humidity levels can lead to equipment malfunctions, compromised materials, failed audits, or even health risks. At Rees Scientific, we offer a range of high-accuracy humidity monitoring solutions designed to meet the strict demands of regulated facilities, helping you maintain control, demonstrate compliance, and operate with confidence.

Why Humidity Monitoring Is Essential

Whether you're protecting freeze-dried drugs in a cleanroom or maintaining animal welfare in a vivarium, humidity is not just an environmental concern, it's a compliance requirement. Even small fluctuations in humidity can: 

  • Impact product stability or chemical composition
  • Compromise sterility in cleanroom or production areas
  • Affect the comfort and well-being of lab animals or personnel
  • Interfere with the operation of sensitive lab and manufacturing equipment
  • Trigger false alarms or improper environmental responses 

Failure to monitor and control humidity can result in:

  • Failed GMP or GxP audits
  • Regulatory fines or recalls
  • Product loss or quality degradation
  • Environmental health and safety violations 
     

Comprehensive Humidity Monitoring Solutions

Rees Scientific provides a full spectrum of humidity monitoring solutions to meet the diverse needs of highly regulated environments. Our sensors are engineered for high accuracy, reliability, and compatibility with both wired and wireless systems. 

Room Mount Humidity Sensors

Humidity monitoring sensor

Ideal for maintaining stable humidity in ambient environments, these sensors support critical room-temperature spaces where compliance and product integrity matter.

Applications:

  • Compounding pharmacies and clinical labs requiring USP <797>/<800> compliance
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing areas with ambient environmental controls
  • Medical device and reagent storage rooms sensitive to humidity fluctuations
  • Cleanroom gowning or transition zones where stable conditions are critical

Combination Temperature & Humidity Sensors

Humidity monitoring probe sensor

Many of our sensors combine temperature and humidity monitoring in a single probe, minimizing wiring and simplifying installation. These sensors are ideal for clients who need full environmental oversight at every monitoring point. 

Applications:

  • Cleanrooms requiring consolidated sensor profiles
  • Remote storage spaces with limited access
  • GMP warehouses or cold storage with humidity control

Available in:

  • Standard and cleanroom configurations
  • Certified (ISO 17025) and washdown-safe models
  • Remote probes for hard-to-reach or enclosed areas
  • Triple-sensor configurations (Temp, RH, Light) 

High-Temperature / High-Humidity Sensors

Designed for harsh environments where typical sensors fail, these models provide reliable performance even in areas with elevated humidity or temperature.

Applications:

  • Stability chambers
  • Hot humid incubators
  • Environmental test rooms
  • Animal holding areas with heat and moisture fluctuation

Duct Mount Humidity Sensors

Humidity Mapping Services

Validate Uniform Conditions. Meet Compliance Expectations.

Humidity mapping is the process of measuring and documenting relative humidity distribution across a controlled environment. It’s a critical component of initial facility validation, seasonal requalification, and deviation investigations. Rees Scientific provides comprehensive humidity mapping services to help ensure that storage areas, chambers, and cleanrooms maintain consistent humidity levels throughout.
