The Top 3 Wireless Fridge Loggers
Monitoring and keeping fridges and freezes at a stable temperature is a critical factor in many environments, from food production facilities to pharmaceutical refrigeration.
Instrument Choice scientists have selected the top 3 Wireless Fridge Loggers to help you find the best device for your application.
About Wireless Fridge Loggers
The impact of not maintaining ideal temperatures of foods, pharmaceuticals, and vaccines is well known. Failure to store these products within their specified temperatures has repercussions for quality, safety, and, in the case of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, effectiveness.
If you need to monitor and control these risks, a wireless fridge logger can be your guardian angel. Wireless fridge loggers monitor the temperature of fridges and freezers and, when deviations occur outside of your predetermined temperature range, send an alarm to your PC or smartphone so that corrective actions can be applied swiftly.
Wireless Fridge loggers consist of two main parts; the logger and the gateway (also known as a base station).
- The logger or sensor is the temperature reader that is placed in a refrigerator to collect temperature data. There is a difference to note between wireless temperature sensors and loggers. A ‘sensor’ has no internal memory, so all data is sent to the gateway for upload and ‘logged’ in a predetermined destination. Sensors are suitable for temperature and power outage alerts. A logger, on the other hand, has storage in the device, so that temperature data will be stored in the case of a power outage and still sent to the gateway for upload and storage. This functionality is ideal if uninterrupted records of temperatures are required.
- The Gateway (or base station) is a device that receives the temperature information from loggers and uploads the collected data. Depending on the device style, data uploads to either a private online account, smartphone app, manufacturer’s software, or a combination of all three.

Because pH and conductivity are common measurements used for an extensive range of applications, a common question put to the Instrument Choice Scientists is "What is the Relationship Between pH and Electrical Conductivity?".
Unfortunately, explanations involving pH and conductivity can take up entire chapters of textbooks, and often become overly complex. We put together this article in response to requests for a simplified explanation – without the scientific jargon.
