AKCP Ultra Cold Sensor (UCTX)

Monitoring extreme temperatures remains one of the greatest challenges in modern industrial and research environments. In the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food industries, products must be stored at ultra-low temperatures under strict control to preserve their effectiveness and quality. The AKCP Ultra Cold Sensor (UCTX) is a high-end solution for ultra-cold monitoring, engineered specifically for cryogenic applications with the most demanding requirements.

With a wide measurement range from -200°C to +150°C, the UCTX covers the full spectrum of cryogenic applications. Whether safeguarding vaccines, monitoring mRNA storage, or managing laboratory deep-freeze samples, this sensor delivers precise real-time data. Built to withstand extreme environments, the AKCP UCTX ensures maximum accuracy even in the most challenging conditions.

Unlike conventional sensors that quickly lose accuracy in ultra-low ranges, the UCTX employs a PT100 platinum probe. This advanced technology provides reliable readings at cryogenic levels, meeting strict FDA and GMP standards. For pharmaceutical organizations and laboratories, it is an essential component for compliance and secure cold-chain management.

Combining pharmaceutical-grade cold-chain monitoring, rugged design, and streamlined integration, the AKCP Ultra Cold Sensor is a critical tool for ensuring law-compliant and safe temperature control in pharma, biotech, and food logistics environments.

Advanced Technology for Pharma & Biotech

The UCTX sensor is based on PT100 platinum probe technology, which works on resistance change principles, universally recognized for precision. Offering an outstanding accuracy of ±0.15°C and a resolution of 0.1°C, it exceeds industry averages and meets FDA-compliant monitoring requirements.

In pharmaceutical vaccine storage, even the slightest deviations can compromise efficacy. Sensitive biotech products demand exact climate control – brief increases can drastically affect quality. By providing real-time monitoring, the UCTX significantly reduces this risk.

Robust Design for Extreme Environments

The sensor is built to perform under demanding conditions. The UCTX operates reliably in ambient ranges from -35°C to +80°C with non-condensing humidity between 20–80%. It is therefore suitable for cold-storage warehouses, cryotanks, and production environments where standard probes cannot function.

The waterproof platinum probe (1,000 mm cable) supports easy installation even in hard-to-reach chambers. With compact form (75 × 55 × 27 mm), it is suitable for dense laboratory setups.

Integration with sensorProbe+ Platform

Fully compatible with AKCP sensorProbe+ platforms, the UCTX connects via standard RJ45 and Cat5/6 cabling. AutoSense ensures effortless detection and setup with no manual configuration needed. Data can be accessed through the probe web interface or transmitted via SNMP to monitoring solutions such as Nagios, Zabbix, or PRTG. Easy integration makes it adaptable for any infrastructure already using AKCP or SNMP tools.

Typical Applications of the Ultra Cold Sensor

• Vaccine storage supervision to guarantee stability of sensitive vaccines
• Cryopreservation in laboratories and medical facilities
• Cold room temperature monitoring in food industries
• Pharma storage with GMP and FDA compliance requirements
• Biotechnology: long-term storage of genetic samples

Compliance & Security

A key advantage of the UCTX is regulatory compliance. It supports GMP standards and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, ensuring both data accuracy and secure documentation. This makes the system audit-ready and ideal for industries facing stringent certification requirements.

The adherence to regulatory requirements reduces compliance risks and ensures both product quality and customer safety.
