More Benefits:
"Our IT department is very pleased with how easy it is to maintain and support. Considering we gave up an Oracle server-based application for Freezerworks, they are thrilled."
— Susan Mason
Lab Manager, AFRIMS
- Centralizes and streamlines your institution's freezer inventory management while allowing different groups and projects to have their own data fields, entry screens, and freezers.
- Saves developer costs and system down time because the lab is empowered to make changes. You do not need to be a programmer to set up and use Freezerworks.
- Protects sensitive sample data (e.g., select agents, confidential patient information) from unauthorized access with security levels that either permit or restrict access to samples and/or freezers by departments, groups, and individuals.
- Streamlines data transfer and data access with integrity by exchanging data with other programs electronically through the powerful file import/export options or the new REST API with Web Client for browser based searches. SQL Views display relevant information on samples and patients stored in other databases with an easy to use setup option.
- Operates in a cross-platform environment so that laboratory personnel can continue to use their preferred operating systems. Runs on Windows, Mac, or both. Client server allows both Mac and Windows computers to access the same server.
More Features:
"With many new students working in the lab, we were notorious for pulling samples and not returning them. This was causing a real problem because the samples are so valuable for our longitudinal studies. With Freezerworks, that doesn't happen anymore."
