MVE Condition Monitoring Solutions

Smart, Connected Cryogenic Storage

CryoBeacon stand alone

Confidence Without Compromise

Condition monitoring is the continuous tracking of critical environmental factors—such as temperature, humidity, shock, and location—that can affect the integrity of cryogenically stored materials. For researchers, clinicians, and logistics teams, this visibility is vital, as a single unnoticed temperature excursion or handling incident can compromise years of work or irreplaceable biological samples. By embedding condition monitoring directly into MVE dewars, we reduce the need for external devices or manual checks, ensuring seamless and automated data capture from the source. This integration creates a single, trusted system for both storage and monitoring, delivering near real-time insight, automated alerts, and a secure digital record that protects assets and simplifies compliance.

For over 60 years, MVE has set the standard in cryogenic storage, and with Condition Monitoring Solutions, our dewars now evolve into intelligent, connected assets. This innovation provides near real-time visibility into temperature and location, proactive alerts to reduce sample loss, and secure, anytime access through our mobile app or web portal. The result is a solution designed to safeguard research and patient materials, ensure compliance with regulatory standards, and optimize operations with actionable insights— empowering users with greater confidence and more control than ever before.

This is Confidence Without Compromise.

Seamless Integration

MVE’s Condition Monitoring creates a fully integrated ecosystem of sensors, connectivity, and cloud access.

Unlike third-party devices that require manual setup or external attachments, MVE’s solution is engineered to work in harmony with the dewar itself. This integration ensures more accurate readings, eliminates the risk of lost or mismatched data, and reduces staff burden by displaying monitoring at the source. The result is a system that not only safeguards sample integrity but also streamlines operations, compliance, and logistics—providing confidence that every data point is captured and securely delivered without gaps.

MVE’s new SC 4/2 V and SC 4/3 V dewars now support built-in monitoring through:

  • CryoBeacon (On-Demand Monitoring): Bluetooth-enabled, QR code scanning for historical data.
  • SmartTag (Near Real-Time Monitoring): 5G LTE device transmitting continuous data anywhere.
  • MVECloud + App: Secure, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant platform with dashboards, alerts, and reporting.

Introducing the MVECloud

MVECloud offers a secure, centralized platform for accessing all condition monitoring data at any time, from everywhere. Whether samples are in storage or in transit, users can log in through a browser-based portal or mobile app to view near real-time status, historical trends, and complete digital records. The system delivers multi-channel alerts via email, app, text or web notifications, ensuring that critical updates are never missed. Fully FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, MVECloud not only safeguards data integrity but also streamlines compliance with audit-ready reporting tools, ensuring seamless adherence to regulations.

By putting information at your fingertips, MVECloud empowers teams to make faster, more informed decisions and maintain complete confidence in the chain of custody across global operations.
