Comprehensiveness and Ease of Use

• Extensive functionality
• User-definable freezer parameters (racks, shelves, box dimensions)
• Study-specific areas within a freezer allows automatic allocation of a tube to the next free location in the defined area
• If the Logistics, Kits and Inventory module is installed, the tube labels created during kit preparation directly link the frozen tubes to freezer management as they arrive in the laboratory
• Freezers can be grouped at different global locations with users being restricted to their local facilities
• Flexible processing of multiple shipments of samples from the same investigator site
• If certain tubes defined in the protocol are not received from the site, the operator registering the sample can indicate:
  • that the tube will be arriving later (putting on hold the tests associated with that tube) or
  • that the tube will never be received (the tests are set to ‘complete’)
• Facilities for recording additional information of any tube received late (e.g. Airway Bill Number, receipt date & time)
• User can see which samples and tubes have been booked into ClinAxys^®, which samples have actually been received and allocated to a freezer or which are still at the investigator site
• Workload forecasting to determine how many tubes are waiting to be analysed for a particular set of tests
• Batch withdrawal of a set of tubes for analysis, thaw them, analyse them and return them to the freezer - all fully audited
• Maximum number of freeze/thaw cycles checked at each withdrawal
• Recording of the removal of tubes from the freezer for disposal.
