Check out some of our most frequently asked questions about our storage management capabilities!

Lockbox LIMS freezer management system gives you a birds eye view of where your lab’s samples are located and who has interacted with the samples throughout their lifecycle. The first thing you will do is configure your labs’ unique storage systems in Lockbox LIMS. This includes racks, shelves, drawers, and boxes in freezers, incubators, and tanks and can be done easily using our point and click configuration tools.

Once you have configured your storage systems you can start placing samples in boxes using the Box Map feature which provides a visual representation of the samples exact position in each box. Lockbox also provides a complete audit trail which stores the historic locations of each sample and which lab personnel moved them. 

The last step is to configure any automations like freeze/thaw tracking and quality control alerts.

Yes! If your lab has multiple sites you can configure each location with all its relevant equipment and storage systems in Lockbox LIMS. 

For example if your lab has two rooms (one for analytical testing and the other for storage) you can create record pages for each room to manage the instruments and storage equipment located there.

Freezer inventory software like Lockbox LIMS helps ensure your samples never get lost or misplaced in the lab. Beyond accurately storing and locating samples, Lockbox LIMS can also be configured to automatically notify lab personnel when quality control markers have been met like freeze/thaw cycle counts and expiration dates. Lockbox’s audit trail capabilities also keep track of historic storage locations and past users who have interacted with the samples to provide even more quality assurance.
