Researchers, Principal Investigators, departments, etc. that store research materials in freezers should be sure that temperatures will not drop below any required level, and that the equipment has alerts and back up procedures in the event of a service failure.

Freezer monitoring systems that connect to the campus network must register as per CUIMC security requirements.  Details on one vendor already used at CUIMC can be found at https://research.ps.columbia.edu/content/freezer-monitoring.
