Case Study - Queen Mary's School of Medicine & Dentistry

The new school of Medicine & Dentistry in Whitechapel is a state of the art teaching facility with numerous Institutes covering Cancer, Cell & Molecular Science, Dentistry, Health Sciences and Preventive Medicine.

At Whitechapel, the spectacular new Institute of Cell and Molecular Sciences building contains researchers working on infectious diseases, stem cells, dermatology, gastroenterology, haematology, diabetes, neuroscience and surgery.

The staff consists of a mixture of clinicians and scientists and they consider that research issues are important to human health.

As part of their long term research, there are many refrigerated tissue samples, cultures etc that require close monitoring which is critical to the running of the research facility. Years of research could be lost if a critical refrigerated storage unit were to fail.

The new school

Due to the size of the site, geographical location of the equipment and the sheer number of refrigerated storage units in service, a conventional control system proved to be too costly to install and maintain.

The solution was to install the Tutela GPRS private network remote temperature sensing system from Next Control Systems. www.tutelasystems.com The system uses a combination of wireless and hard wired sensors to monitor both high and low temperatures of over 110 critical refrigerated stores. There was no need to install separate remote communications connections.

The system is totally web based, and all data that is remotely retrieved from the site every 30 minutes 24/7 is automatically entered onto web pages and published for access by key personnel. In addition, should any refrigerated storage unit start to operate outside of the agreed temperature parameters the system will go into an alarm condition and is automatically reported to the fully manned bureau. Thereafter site personnel are contacted and advised of the exact nature of the alarm.

The new school of Medicine & Dentistry can now be sure that all blood banks, critical storage refrigerators, freezers and cryogenic equipment used in the many research areas are fully monitored and protected.
