The life sciences are astonishingly data-intensive today, and in many cases, big projects require collaboration between departments or institutions. Even without collaboration, powerful IT infrastructure is necessary to run the software tools that help researchers understand their data. Read more to understand why on-premises laboratory management software may be best for your institution.

Cheryl Michels, founder of Freezerworks, is recognized for her dedication to advancing biobanking and informatics with the 2016 ISBER Award.

We at Freezerworks wish to honor our clients working to fight cancer in the research labs and biorepositories worldwide.

Looking at a lengthy timeline for validating Freezerworks in your regulated environment?

Let Freezerworks help cut that timeline significantly through our IQ/OQ Validation Package.

When we developed the first version of Freezerworks in 1992, we did it with true configurability in mind. This means your workflow is supported by Freezerworks rather than your workflow needing to adapt to the software. 

68% of Americans are willing to donate tissue for research, but the way consent is presented makes a big difference in their decisions. Read more.

Many labs struggle to track and manage their growing collection of biological samples. Inaccurate tracking leads to wasted resources and delays in research. Advanced sample management software ensures efficient tracking, improves lab accuracy, and helps researchers access high-quality samples when they need them most.

Don’t underestimate the value of having sample management software. Though you may think that your facility is doing just fine without sample management software or sample tracking software, you may have a greater need for a more competent, digital system than you suppose. Consider the following.

Biobanking has revolutionized disease research, but how does it all work? Let’s break down the science and challenges behind this vital practice.

We’ve put together a basic biobanking guide of the whats, whys, and hows to help you out!

While many people have likely heard the term “biobanking,” they likely have little to no idea what it actually means. Biobanks often come up in discussions of new studies or research findings, but there isn’t much information on what they are.

Can your DNA determine how you react to medication? Mayo Clinic is uncovering the answers with groundbreaking genetic research.

Cancer affects millions worldwide, and University of Alabama researchers are uncovering new ways to treat HER2+ breast cancer with innovative therapies and groundbreaking tools.

Read how health care company Kaiser Permanente, plans to gather genetic material from 5,000 member families to study autism spectrum disorders.

Breakthroughs in autoimmune disease research are on the horizon as $1.9M in grants fuel advancements in translational medicine.

A popular method of collecting samples is now raising controversy about the ways we accumulate and manage this biological data.

Scientists and researchers around the world rely on high-quality, properly-stored biological samples to allow them to study a variety of medical conditions and other issues.

With 68% of Americans willing to donate biological samples, biobanking is thriving. But how does donor consent shape the future of research?

A $35 million research initiative drives Kannapolis, North Carolina, to invest in a state-of-the-art biobanking center, revolutionizing research and economic prospects.

Biobanking and freezer software is used for a number of worthwhile causes, including the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Due to a recent change, the Los Alamos National Laboratory may be able to put these applications to good use.
