Products
Cold-compatible box content mapping device
A device that maps the contents of standard freezer boxes while the box remains in the cold environment, producing a positional map for each box.
Freezer-scale inventory tracking system
A system designed to track sample boxes within -80 ºC freezers at the rack, shelf, and box level to provide location-aware inventory management.
Single-vial RFID reader
A reader device that captures RFID data from individual tagged sample vials for accessioning or when samples are outside supported box formats.
Cryogenic-compatible RFID-tagged sample vials
Sample vials with an embedded RFID tag specified to survive extreme temperature ranges relevant to cryogenic storage and sterilization (documented survival from -200 ºC to 134 ºC).
