Environmental Monitoring for Labs & Research
Data without traceability
does not hold up in an audit.
And without traceability,
accreditation is at risk.
In laboratories, the quality of environmental data is as critical as the data itself. Continuous monitoring with a calibration certificate, up to 5 years of history and per-device traceability, for audits, accreditations and scientific publications.
← Back to SolutionsUndocumented environmental conditions
invalidate the result,
and the laboratory
that produced it.
A test run at a temperature outside the specified range is an invalid test. A growth chamber that drifted overnight compromises the reproducibility of the experiment. An accredited laboratory that does not continuously monitor its environmental conditions is operating at risk of losing its accreditation.
The problem is not the environmental variation, it is having no record of it. With the data, you document, justify and defend. Without it, any audit can question the integrity of every result produced in the period.
For regulators, for accredited calibration laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025, ILAC-MRA) and for the editorial committee of any peer-reviewed journal, the traceability of environmental conditions is a validity criterion, not a formality.
Loss of accreditation
ISO/IEC 17025 accredited or certified laboratories must demonstrate continuous control of environmental conditions, or they become subject to suspension of accreditation.
Results challenged in an audit
Without a history of environmental conditions during the test period, the auditor may question the validity of every result produced, with retroactive impact.
Test invalidated by environmental variation
Biotech and pharma: temperature variation in bioreactors or growth chambers during the test compromises reproducibility and may invalidate the batch.
Scientific reproducibility compromised
In academic research, the absence of environmental data makes it harder for other groups to reproduce the experiment, affecting the credibility of the publication.
Every laboratory has
its own specific requirement.
From accredited calibration labs to biotech, every segment has its own traceability criterion. PLEXOR covers them all with calibratable hardware and a platform with up to 5 years of history.
Analysis and Testing Laboratories
Continuous environmental control with the traceability required by ISO 17025. History exportable for accreditation audits and the defense of results.
ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Labs
Accredited calibration laboratories must control the environmental conditions of the laboratory itself, and document them with metrological traceability.
Biotech and Industrial R&D
Bioreactors, growth chambers and incubators with temperature control critical to reproducibility. Early adopters with high referral potential.
Pharmaceutical, Production and R&D
Production environments, laboratories and stability chambers with GxP requirements for continuous environmental control and per-batch documentation.
Universities and Institutes
Environmental control for research laboratories with reproducibility requirements, and history exportable for inclusion in scientific publications.
Veterinary and Animal Analysis Labs
Growth of the premium pet market and intensive animal production, increasing regulation, a process similar to the human laboratory setting with traceability requirements.
Continuous monitoring.
Metrological traceability.
Hardware with ISO 9001 manufacturing, calibratable and with a certificate available, connected to a platform that retains up to 5 years of exportable history. From the test to the audit, the data exists and is defensible.
Available for any PLX model. Metrological traceability valid for ISO/IEC 17025, GxP and accreditation audits.
Continuous retention, logging every offline period. In an audit, the history of the test period is exportable as PDF or CSV, with the device ID and timestamp of each reading.
Each reading carries the device's unique identifier. In an audit report or scientific publication, you know exactly which sensor produced each data point.
Alerts by email, webhook and REST API (SMS as an add-on) the moment the condition leaves the specified range, before the test is compromised. Configurable per chamber and per variable.
PDF with laboratory data, device ID, time charts and specified ranges. Ready for the auditor, for the Technical Manager and for the editorial committee.
Certificate due-date control with automatic alerts before the deadline, no external spreadsheet, no surprises in an audit.
Deployed in days.
Accreditable from the first data point.
Installation
PLX devices installed in chambers, rooms and test points. Plug-and-play, with no integration with local IT.
Calibration
A calibration certificate issued for each device. Metrological traceability from first use.
Monitoring
Continuous data on the platform. Configurable alerts. History accumulating from day 1.
Audit
Report generated in one click. History of the test period exportable. Calibration traceable per serial number.

The data exists.
So does the traceability.
Every reading recorded with a unique device identifier, timestamp and value, turning monitoring into traceable records that support audits for ISO/IEC 17025, GxP and peer review.
Report with device ID
PDF with sensor ID, laboratory data, time charts and specified ranges. Each reading traceable to its origin.
Up to 5 years of history
Continuous retention, logging every offline period. The history of any test period is exportable at any time, even years later.
Integrated calibration management
Certificate due-date control with automatic alerts. Never be caught off guard in an accreditation audit.
Alert before variation compromises
Notification by email, webhook and REST API (SMS as an add-on) when the parameter leaves the range, before the test is invalidated. Corrective action with data, not with guesswork.
Offtime logged
Every period the device is offline is documented. In an audit, you prove monitoring continuity, with no unexplained gaps.
Secure infrastructure
AWS on a private network, HTTPS + TLS 1.3, encrypted database and 2FA. Research data protected with the same security required for clinical data.
Note: legal or compliance interpretation and classification are the responsibility of a qualified professional; PLEXOR data supports the analysis.
Losing accreditation
costs more than years of monitoring.
❌ Without traceability
- 🏛️Suspension or non-renewal of accreditation, direct impact on operations and on analysis contracts
- 🧬Tests challenged in an audit, retroactive invalidation of results produced without an environmental record
- 📚Paper rejected for lack of environmental reproducibility data, loss of the publication cycle
- 💉Batch invalidated by undocumented environmental variation, cost of materials, time and rework
- ⚖️Liability for a test result with no documented defense

Frequently asked
questions.
Does the platform data work as evidence for an accreditation audit?
Yes. The PLEXOR platform generates PDF and CSV reports with device identification, timestamp and historical series, ready for audit. Up to 5 years of history (with the extended-retention add-on) covers the periods required by most accreditation protocols.
How often do the sensors need to be calibrated?
Calibration frequency depends on the application and the regulatory requirements of each laboratory. The PLEXOR platform includes calibration management with due-date control and automatic alerts, helping prevent equipment from operating beyond its calibration interval.
Can a single system cover cold rooms and incubators at the same time?
Yes. All PLEXOR sensors run on the same platform, regardless of the model or the temperature range monitored. You can view cold rooms, incubators and laboratory environments in a single centralized dashboard.
