Improving Lives
Biotechnology is used to develop technologies and products that improve the lives of our community and create a healthier planet. At its core, it takes biological processes, organisms and cells/cellular components and uses them to create new tools and methods to help cure disease, grow healthier food, and make our lives easier. These can be applied for use in research, agriculture, manufacturing and healthcare facilities. In such a diversified field, the work biotechnologists perform can touch countless lives. This places a responsibility in their hands to maintain the integrity and safety of the products they are producing.
From the time of initial research for the project up to the time of manufacturing and distribution, the storage, handling and relocating must be carefully monitored and maintained under specific conditions. The nature of these conditions is dependent upon rules and regulations as laid out by organizations such as the FDA and CDC, and often require time and attention from those involved with the projects. Documentation must be kept to demonstrate each of these conditions, such as temperature and humidity, have been consistently recorded and maintained to ensure the integrity of the goods being handled or stored. Rather than taking the risk of inaccurate readings, missing an outage, or losing time that could be better spent elsewhere, most biotechnologists and biotechnology facilities opt for a more efficient solution – a continuous monitoring system.
A Partnership in Advancement
Immediate. Flexible. Complete.
To assist in development, we begin with a 24/7 continuous monitoring system complete with immediate alert notification via e-mail, text or phone. This means a member of the team gets notified the moment a system enters into alarm, granting them time to properly address the situation, and react in a manner that saves the product involved. No more manual checks for temperature readings or the possibility of missing an outage. The automated system will continually monitor this information for you and alert you in real-time through the software located on your computer system.
Whether you have a few refrigerators or hundreds, no two facilities are identical, and customization is the key to ensuring your continuous monitoring system is where you need it, when you need it. For this reason, alerting can be varied by department, piece of equipment, time of day, day of the week, condition parameters, delivery method and escalation protocols.
The flexibility and scalability of the system means that it can monitor any location, from cold storage to stability chambers, in any size facility. From a small, single facility, up to a complex, multi-location facility, your continuous monitoring system can adapt and grow as you do. With the option to function as a standalone system or a fully networked environment that can simultaneously monitor hundreds of appliances, you do not need to worry when it comes time to add refrigerators, freezers, or other appliances in your facility. The system has unlimited capacity, making it easy to adjust to where you are and what you need.
Put time back into your schedule and take efficiency to a new level by letting a Mesa Continuous Monitoring system carefully watch over your hard work for you.

Customer Testimonials
“Just wanted to let you know that things went very smoothly with the install. All of the equipment arrived on time. Staff arrive on time and were well prepared/knowledgeable. I know it was not an easy task to make that happen with the last minute issues, but I wanted to thank you all for your work in coordinating and supporting us. It certainly helped make opening a new facility quite a bit easier”
Annual Probe Calibrations & System Maintenance
It is recommended that your Continuous Monitoring (CM) system undergoes a “major tuneup” at least once annually. Although there are monthly or quarterly alarm checks and preventive maintenance schedules to complete, an annual probe calibration to an NIST or ISO 17025-traceable standard and a comprehensive system check/validation will ensure the system is…
