If this sounds like your lab’s -80°C freezer, you’re not alone. Busy research teams often start with a well-organised system, but over time, freezer chaos sets in: samples pile up, labels fade, frost builds, tracking goes out the window and preventative maintenance goes to the bottom of the list!
It’s not just inconvenient. It’s risky, expensive, and takes your scientists away from what they do best: the science.
