A cutting-edge LabHotel thanks to the environmental monitoring system Mirrhia


Researchers know this well: losing a cell culture or a batch of reagents costs time and money, sometimes enough to jeopardize a project’s viability.

To reduce this risk, the Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) continuously monitors laboratory equipment. Refrigerators, freezers, incubators: every temperature-controlled unit is tracked in real time. If the temperature drifts, an alert is sent immediately. Experiments are secured, and costly losses are avoided.

In the biotech sector, this type of system is not mandatory, unlike in the pharmaceutical industry where regulations require rigorous environmental monitoring. When available, however, it becomes a real opportunity. It offers researchers peace of mind by providing a secure environment.



A qualitative step forward for the Biotech 4 labhotel

For a start-up hosted in a labhotel (a shared laboratory), access to such a system is almost a privilege, as it remains uncommon. Integrating it into our labhotel at Biotech 4 therefore represents a distinctive opportunity. It allows young companies to work in a secure environment without bearing the significant investment such a system entails while enjoying concrete benefits. For scientists, it’s added security that simplifies day-to-day experimentation. For CEOs, it also helps reduce the financial risk associated with experimental losses.

This deployment stems from the partnership between the BioPark Charleroi and Mirrhia, a recognized specialist in environmental monitoring. Mirrhia’s EMS, already deployed in more than 3,500 controlled environments worldwide, ranks among the market’s most effective solutions. Bringing pharma-grade monitoring into a shared biotech space levels the playing field for early-stage teams.


The EMS: towards a shared standard of excellence

By integrating an environmental monitoring system, the BioPark Charleroi takes another step in supporting its community, placing even small teams in conditions aligned with international GMP/GxP expectations: traceability, auditability, and rapid response to deviations. This system reflects the ecosystem’s dynamic: seeking the best connections to serve the community.
