FreezerPro Presentation Dr. Seals Integrative Physiology of Aging Laboratory Fall 2015

Welcome to FreezerPro Our lab has many completed and ongoing studies with thousands of different frozen & stored samples Documentation and Organization are crucial to our success

The (Freezer) Pro’s 1 time fee, moderately priced Versatile & intuitive, easy to move things around Synchronizing with label-printer Allows for multiple users Search function Search for samples by sample type, name, protocol #, etc. Setting notifications for sample expiration dates (i.e. 10 years) Handy copy/paste (as new sample) functions

The (Freezer) Pro’s (cont’d) Hover feature shows sample description Different sample icons allow for quick recognition of sample types

Things to Consider The samples that we collect – some in 0.65mL epp tubes Limited the type of label printer & software we could use Searching function requires forethought Be aware of categorization; initial set-up is time consuming but very worthwhile Selecting sample types can be tedious Must hover over each with mouse to see description Can’t change the order
