ezFreezer

ezFreezer® by ATGC Labs is a fast, intuitive laboratory sample tracking solution designed to help researchers and scientists manage the storage and retrieval of valuable samples and biological materials. Built for academic and commercial biotechnology and scientific research laboratories, ezFreezer combines elegant simplicity with powerful customisation, enabling teams to visualise and manage sample locations and usage through virtual freezers directly on the desktop.
