Temperature Monitoring Sensors
Safeguarding Life-Saving Products with Precision Temperature Monitoring
Temperature is one of the most critical environmental parameters in regulated environments. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech research, blood and tissue banking, hospital labs, and cleanroom environments, temperature deviations can compromise product quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. Rees Scientific’s suite of temperature monitoring solutions is engineered to deliver real-time, traceable, and auditable temperature data, helping you prevent excursions before they happen.
Why Temperature Monitoring Matters
From the storage of vaccines and biologics to the protection of reagents, plasma, and tissue samples, temperature deviations can have irreversible consequences. Many of these products are highly sensitive and must remain within tight thermal tolerances to maintain viability.
Uncontrolled temperature conditions can lead to:
- Product degradation or spoilage
- Failed regulatory audits (FDA, CAP, USP, GxP)
- Risk to patient health or experimental outcomes
- Financial loss from product waste
That’s why reliable, validated temperature monitoring is
essential, and why leading institutions trust Rees Scientific.
Our Temperature Monitoring Capabilities
We offer a diverse range of temperature sensors to meet the unique needs of various environments and applications:
RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors)
We offer a range of RTDs, including ISO 17025-certified temperature probes to deliver the high accuracy, stability, and traceability required in regulated environments. While standard probes provide reliable readings, certified RTDs are the gold standard for organizations that need to meet strict regulatory and audit expectations.
Applications:
- Blood bank and pharmacy refrigerators
- Hospital blood bank refrigerators and freezers
- Cryogenic and ultra-low temperature freezers
- Cleanroom environments and GMP manufacturing
- Long-term temperature-sensitive sample storage
While we support a variety of temperature probes, we recommend ISO 17025-certified RTDs whenever accuracy, documentation, and defensibility are critical. These probes are ideal for facilities undergoing regular audits or operating under strict quality management systems. RTDs offer high-accuracy temperature measurement and are ideal for GxP environments, cleanrooms, and equipment where precise calibration and long-term stability are critical.
Why ISO 17025 Certification Matters:
- Traceability: Every certified probe is calibrated against internationally recognized standards, with full documentation for audits and inspections.
- Audit Readiness: Certification supports compliance with FDA, USP <797>/<800>, CAP, and GxP requirements.
- Data Integrity: Certified RTDs reduce variability and improve confidence in data, especially during validations or investigations.
- Reduced Risk: Demonstrating the use of certified equipment helps mitigate risk during inspections and supports defensible compliance.
Temperature Probes
Our TPT series probes are available in multiple configurations, including heavy-duty probes, wall-mounted ambient sensors, long-lead probes for hard-to-reach spaces, and certified versions for validated environments.
Applications:
- Stability testing chambers
- Research labs
- Animal vivariums
- Environmental chambers
Thermocouples
Thermocouples are rugged and fast-responding, suitable for environments where rapid thermal shifts occur or where sensors are exposed to harsh conditions.
Applications:
- Heated chambers
- Incubators
- Harsh production environments
Thermistors
Thermistors are ideal for highly sensitive, narrow-range measurements, particularly in extremely cold environments like cryogenic storage.
Applications:
- Liquid nitrogen freezers for tissue, embryos, or cell therapies
- Research labs handling ultra-low temperature samples
- Biobanks and fertility centers with -200°C conditions
Enhancing Accuracy with Temperature Accessories
Stabilization Kits & Blocks
- TEMP-BLOCK: Prevents false alarms from brief events like door openings
- TEMP-KIT: Uses sand or media to buffer temperature and mimic product mass
These accessories provide a more accurate reflection of actual storage conditions, helping facilities avoid nuisance alarms and improving audit readiness.
Regulatory Readiness, Built In
All of our temperature sensors and probes are designed for 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO compliance, and many are ISO 17025 certified or available with traceable calibration documentation.
Our solutions support:
- USP <797> & <800> requirements
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic recordkeeping
- GxP/GMP compliance
- Joint Commission and CAP audit protocols
Seamless System Integration
All temperature data is captured by the Rees Monitoring System and can be transmitted in real-time to your Building Management System (BMS), Quality Management System (QMS), or cloud-based dashboards. Data is securely stored, readily accessible for audit trails, and integrated into your facility’s digital ecosystem.
Industries We Support
Our temperature monitoring solutions are trusted by:
Top pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers
Contract research and testing labs

Temperature Mapping Services
Validating Uniformity. Enhancing Confidence.
In regulated environments, it’s not enough to simply monitor temperature, you must also validate that your storage and controlled spaces maintain consistent, uniform conditions throughout. Temperature mapping (also known as thermal mapping) is the process of placing multiple sensors throughout a space to identify hot or cold spots, verify system performance, and document environmental uniformity over time.
