Calibrated sensors for safe transport and storage
TubeSense® offers calibrated temperature sensors for different applications, including temperature logging of individually packed biomedical samples and temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals, monitored transport boxes for internal and external transport, and for monitoring of fridges and freezers.
A versatile modular software suite
TubeSense® offers a cloud-based software solution with different PC and mobile front-end apps to facilitate your specific healthcare logistics. Sample data, temperature profiles and measured conditions during transport and storage are safely stored in the cloud and can be made available in any Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
Efficiently regulated hospital logistics
TubeSense® now offers a complete solution to regulate and monitor your hospital logistics, both for internal and external transport. The package includes modules for tracking & tracing, planning pickup & delivery routes, monitoring transport conditions and registering transport data (‘proof of delivery’).
