Boreas Monitoring Solutions

What Boreas Monitoring Solutions does

Boreas Monitoring Solutions is a Wilmington, North Carolina-based private company (legal entity Boreas Cryo Safety, INC.) that sells subscription-based remote monitoring services for cryogenic storage tanks used primarily in fertility clinics and, increasingly, in animal sciences, life sciences/biorepositories, and academic research. The company was founded in 2018 by IVF lab professionals in response to two high-profile 2018 cryotank failures and secured U.S. Patent 10,753,821 in 2020 for its core technology, which it commercially launched in 2023 as the CryoScout™ system. Boreas later added the CryoGuardian™ system for larger tanks (over 50L of liquid nitrogen).

The technical platform centers on a patented weight-based monitoring method that detects liquid nitrogen evaporation rates rather than relying on temperature sensors, which the company states can fail to provide adequate warning because liquid and vapor-phase nitrogen share similar temperatures. Each cryotank is paired with a cellular LTE-connected tank module (battery-powered with 3+ months of charge, no Wi-Fi required) sitting on a weighing platform that captures data every 15 minutes, generating approximately 34,000 data points per tank and detecting failures up to 84 hours sooner than temperature-based methods. Data is pushed to an AWS-hosted, SOC 2 Type I-compliant portal with multi-channel alarm management (SMS, email, automated phone calls) and tamper-proof alarms meeting College of American Pathologists (CAP) standards.

Commercially, Boreas sells to enterprise customers via a direct, sales-led motion with white-glove on-site installation, staff training, and demo-driven acquisition (Schedule a Demo / Request a Demo CTAs). Revenue is generated through annual subscriptions bundling leased hardware with software portal access, with an optional capital purchase for the hardware while maintaining warranty coverage. As of 2026, the company reports 600 monitoring systems deployed in the IVF field and a network-wide partnership with Ivy Fertility across its locations; it is also pursuing compliance for non-U.S. markets. The company has 1-10 employees and minimal disclosed funding (a $50,000 NC IDEA grant in 2023).

Revenue model

1. Subscription-Based Monitoring Service (Hardware Leasing + Software Access): The primary revenue model is an annual subscription that bundles leased hardware (tank modules, weighing platforms) with access to the proprietary Boreas software portal. Customers enter into annual agreements for both hardware leasing and software access. A capital expense purchase option for hardware is also available while maintaining the same warranty coverage.

Core offering

Boreas Monitoring Solutions develops and leases patented weight-based cryotank monitoring hardware (CryoScout™ for tanks under 50L and CryoGuardian™ for tanks over 50L) bundled with a cloud-based monitoring portal. The system measures liquid nitrogen weight loss in real time, detecting tank failures up to 84 hours before temperature-based sensors, and delivers 24/7 alerts via SMS, email, and automated phone calls under an annual subscription.

Product overview

Boreas Monitoring Solutions offers a subscription-based monitoring service for cryogenic tanks, consisting of two core weight-based monitoring products. CryoScout™ monitors cryotanks under 50L of liquid nitrogen, while CryoGuardian™ monitors larger tanks over 50L. Both systems use patented weight-based technology with cellular LTE connectivity, cloud-based alarm management, and a proprietary software portal for 24/7 real-time monitoring. The hardware is leased to customers as part of an annual subscription agreement.

Products and services

• CryoScout™ CryoScout™ is a weight-based remote monitoring system for cryotanks holding less than 50L of liquid nitrogen. It consists of a weighing platform, a cellular LTE tank module, and a cloud-based portal that captures data every 15 minutes, detects tank failures up to 84 hours sooner than temperature-based sensors, and collects 34,000 data points per tank. It is targeted at fertility clinics, animal sciences labs, life sciences biorepositories, and academic research institutions.
• CryoGuardian™ CryoGuardian™ is a weight-based monitoring system designed for cryotanks holding more than 50L of liquid nitrogen. It uses the same patented weight-based technology as CryoScout and is customizable to add the smallest possible footprint to larger lab environments. Target customers are the same fertility, animal sciences, life sciences, and academic lab customers.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Ivy FertilitycoreGTM or Marketing Partner · 12 March 2026Ivy Fertility is the first fertility network to implement Boreas' weight-based cryotank monitoring technology (CryoScout and CryoGuardian systems) across its entire portfolio. The partnership covers 26 locations in multiple U.S. states, though states 17 labs nationwide. The CryoScout system provides network-wide deployment with tamper-proof alarms that exceed CAP standards, detecting tank failures days earlier than traditional temperature-based methods. Boreas views this as validation of its technology and a step toward broader adoption in reproductive care.

Broad incumbents

• Mettler Toledo: Mettler Toledo is a global leader in precision weighing instruments and lab balances, with monitoring and data-management software for regulated environments. It is comparable through the core weight-measurement technology underpinning Boreas' differentiation, though Mettler Toledo addresses a much broader industrial and lab use case.
• Cryoport Systems: Cryoport provides temperature-controlled cold chain logistics and biostorage solutions for the life sciences and cell/gene therapy markets. It is comparable as a broader incumbent in cryogenic/cold chain infrastructure for biological materials, though its focus is shipping and logistics rather than stationary tank monitoring.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific: Thermo Fisher is a dominant life sciences tools and lab equipment provider, including cryogenic storage products, laboratory monitoring solutions, and biorepository services. It is comparable as a broad incumbent serving the same IVF, biorepository, and academic lab customer base with overlapping cold-storage capabilities.
• Hamilton Storage: Hamilton Storage (a Hamilton Company division) provides automated sample management and cold storage solutions for biobanking, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories. It is comparable as a provider of cold-storage infrastructure for biological samples, addressing the same IVF, biorepository, and academic customer base as Boreas.
• Chart Industries (MVE): Chart Industries, through its MVE brand, is a leading manufacturer of cryogenic storage tanks and dewars used in IVF, biorepositories, and life sciences. It is comparable as the primary equipment provider for the cryotanks that Boreas monitors, making Chart a potential partner or competitor depending on monitoring strategy.
• Worthington Industries (Cryo-Science Division): Worthington Industries' cryogenic equipment business manufactures LN2 storage dewars and related cryogenic handling equipment used in IVF, biorepositories, and life sciences. It is comparable as an established cryogenic equipment manufacturer serving the same end customers, and could be a partner or competitor for monitoring integration.

Direct peers

• Rees Scientific: Rees Scientific provides continuous temperature and environmental monitoring systems for laboratories, biorepositories, and life sciences facilities. It is the closest direct competitor to Boreas, addressing the same cryotank/cold-storage monitoring use case in fertility and research labs, but using temperature-based sensors rather than Boreas' patented weight-based approach.
• TelaTemp (by Mesa Labs): TelaTemp, part of Mesa Labs, offers continuous temperature and humidity monitoring systems with cloud-based alerting for regulated environments including laboratories and biorepositories. It is a direct peer in lab-focused remote monitoring, competing with Boreas in the same cryotank/environmental monitoring category.
• Sensaphone: Sensaphone offers remote monitoring systems for temperature, humidity, and equipment status across laboratory, medical, and industrial settings. It is a direct competitor in remote tank/equipment monitoring, providing cellular-based alarm and alerting functionality overlapping with Boreas' offering.

Emerging players

• BioLife Solutions: BioLife Solutions provides biopreservation tools, cold chain, and cell/gene therapy delivery solutions for the regenerative medicine market. It is comparable as an emerging player in cryopreservation and cold-chain handling for biological materials, with overlapping end customers in cell therapy and biorepositories.
