The Trusted Lab Sample Tracking System for UK & EU Healthcare
Effortless sample tracking and sample monitoring from collection to lab reception. Designed to reduce risk, eliminate manual effort, and simplify compliance.
Real-Time Tracking
Know exactly where every sample is, in real time.
Cold Chain Monitoring
Protect temperature-sensitive specimens with instant alerts on breaches.
End-to-end Chain of Custody
Every handoff is logged and traceable.
UKAS & ISO 15189 Ready

How It Works
The Cicada Voyager is a compact, battery-powered IoT device designed for pre-analytics sample tracking. Simply place it directly inside your existing specimen transport container, and it will monitor every step from collection to the lab. It records key data for specimen tracking, including:
- Location
- Temperature
- Light Exposure
- Movement
This data is uploaded in real-time to the Binary Cloud, providing complete sample transport monitoring through a secure, web-based sample tracking software you can access from any device, anywhere.
The Power of Real-Time Sample Tracking
When every second counts, real-time visibility makes all the difference.
Faster Issue Resolution
Know immediately when a delivery is delayed or goes off-route.
Fewer Lost or Mishandled Specimens
Spot bottlenecks, detours, or storage breaches before they escalate.
Stronger Audit Trail
Instantly access a fully traceable digital chain of custody.
Better Patient Outcomes
Ensure samples reach the lab on time and within required conditions, reducing retesting and diagnostic delays.
Smarter Lab Resourcing
See which shipments are incoming and when, so you can prepare staff accordingly.
Say Goodbye to Paperwork
Eliminate phone calls, spreadsheets and paper logs. Data is captured automatically and accessible in one place.
Custom Alerts. Immediate Action
Never miss a critical event, with alerts sent instantly to your chosen channels.
Our sample tracking solution doesn’t just log data, it actively monitors it for exceptions and lets you know the moment something goes wrong.
Instant Notifications
Via SMS, email or other integrated systems.
Customisable Triggers
Temperature breaches, opened shipment containers, delivery issues and more.
Role-based Alerts
So the right person gets the right information at the right time.
Faster Response Times
To protect sample integrity and prevent costly re-tests.
