Biological Sample Tracking
Monitor, track and ensure safe transit of biological samples with real-time visibility and automated alerts.
Data-Driven Preanalytics Insights
Protect Sample Integrity
Ensure samples are transported under optimal conditions, maintaining their integrity and quality throughout their journey.
Simplify QA Compliance
Automate evidence collection with a fully traceable digital chain of custody, streamlining audit processes and ensuring effortless compliance.
Streamline Resource Management
Optimise lab operations by preparing staff for incoming shipments and improving logistical workflows.
Enhance Lab Efficiency
Reduce manual processes like follow-up phone calls and tedious paperwork, enabling lab personnel to focus on critical tasks.
Strengthen Lab Reputation
Real-time monitoring ensures reliable sample handling and accurate results, reinforcing trust in your lab’s reliability.
Reduce Costs
Decrease operational expenses by minimising manual intervention and reducing the risk of costly errors.
A better way to monitor pathology samples
Over 60% of diagnostic errors occur before samples even reach the laboratory. This creates challenges for pathologists in obtaining accurate test results.
BinaryMed’s IoT-powered biological sample tracking system gives laboratories real-time visibility of samples in transit during the pre-analytical phase.
By replacing outdated data loggers with our cloud-based sample tracking software, labs can now locate samples and monitor their temperatures from anywhere, at any time, at the click of a button.

Automate your biological sample tracking
The Cicada Voyager is a wireless IoT device designed to monitor location, temperature, movement and light levels of samples in real-time. Operating autonomously, it eliminates the need for manual scanning or input, ensuring uninterrupted data flow. This data is seamlessly uploaded to the Binary Cloud, providing continuous, reliable tracking and insights.
Reliable 5G Connectivity
Uses 5G cellular technology instead of GPS ensuring consistent, accurate tracking indoors and outdoors.
Advanced Geolocation
Proprietary hybrid geolocation system uses multiple location technologies for highly accurate tracking.
Long Battery Life
Runs for over 5 years on a single set of batteries, requiring minimal maintenance throughout its lifetime.
Stay connected to samples outside the lab
The Binary Cloud integrates data collected from Cicada Voyager devices, giving you complete visibility of samples in transit. This cloud-based platform is accessible from any web browser and requires no app installations or downloads.
Using AI and machine learning algorithms, the platform delivers actionable insights that help pathology labs maintain optimal sample conditions and streamline their operations from collection to processing.
- Enables real-time access to monitoring data and analytics, allowing users to view, analyse, and export information easily.
- Generates compliance-ready reports automatically, streamlining audit and quality assurance processes.
- Intuitive dashboard provides effortless oversight of samples, allowing for easy monitoring of locations and temperatures.
- AI-driven insights to optimise sample handling and improve operational efficiency.
What we offer
BinaryMed is a complete solution for your pathology sample tracking workflows. We know your logistics are unique and complex and we don’t just post you sensors and leave you in the dark. We offer a complete, working solution and we’re help to support you if you need custom integrations or services.
5G Wireless Sensors
We provide you with our "Cicada" wireless IoT sensors which send data to our cloud. Simply install into your containers using their adhesive 3M backing, or ship them individually with samples.Connectivity and Platform
SIM connectivity and access to The Binary Cloud platform are combined into a simple annual fee which is charged at a flat rate per sensor (unlimited seats).
Implementation
We can help you with installation, customisation and integration into existing infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, BinaryMed sensors are designed to automatically record and transmit their location and temperature data without any direct user involvement. Making sample monitoring easy and efficient. However, QR codes serve a valuable purpose in managing workflows, such as linking specific samples to their corresponding sensors. This helps in associating the sensor's data with the samples in transit alongside it.
BinaryMed's sample tracking system collects location, temperature, motion, orientation and light information which is periodically transmitted to the cloud over NB-IoT or CAT-M1 connectivity.
In rare cases, our sensors are limited by the range of the cellular network so just like your mobile phone, they may sometimes go out of range in some locations. In this case, all data is recorded and stored locally on the device, then synchronised with the cloud when the sensor comes back into an area with coverage. This means all historic sample tracking data is still recorded for your QA auditing purposes.
BinaryMed's sample monitoring sensors incorporate digital thermometers that have been tested against sensors that are NIST traceable, and verified with equipment that are NIST traceable through ISO/IEC. In some regions we can also offer an annual calibration service whereby sensors are re-tested against NIST traceable sources and signed with a digital certificate.
BinaryMed's sample tracking platform includes APIs that enable data to be shared with external systems. Our team can provide services to assist with integration projects.
No, BinaryMed sensors are part of a new generation of Massive IoT devices - offering better geolocation capabilities and significantly better battery life than traditional GPS trackers. This is especially useful in complex pre-analytical supply chains where samples spend long periods of time indoors where GPS in unavailable, making active sample tracking reliable like never before.
