ezFreezer

Researchers and professionals who are working with samples or specimens in a laboratory environment, might still be using classic, freezer storage and archival methods. Where these fail to provide an efficient solution is the fact that once the number of samples increases, keeping track of all things can become a real challenge. ezFreezer is here to provide a workaround for such problems, through a well-thought, research-oriented inventory app.

The application’s main working principle relies on the traditional, freezer storage that most researchers used and still use to this day. Making the transition to a digital inventory is what the developers of this app have elegantly managed to do.

By resorting to only 4 main tabs, the app manages to offer freezer structure tracking, individual sample cataloguing, as well as a very useful, report generation function. Last but not least, since the program will most likely be used by multiple users, dedicated privileges can be attributed to each one, from the master, administrator account.

Samples can be added for RNA, cell line, bacteria or even oligo data and each entry features a plethora of customization settings, this way ensuring that all the important details are being kept for the different entries.

Since graphical representations are often the best possible solution for visualizing hierarchical structures, each sample can be placed and then visualized into a dedicated freezer viewer. This enables users to access either a box or a list display of all the available samples and therefore get a better idea of the location and particulars of each specimen.

In terms of laboratory specimen inventorying, this software is an indispensable asset to have, regardless of the scientific branch one is being involved with. Thanks to a myriad of customization settings and features that are adapted to research methods, ezFreezer manages to overcome the issues of traditional sample storage and it provides an effective solution.
