Case Study: The Rockefeller University simplifies sample tracking and shipping with Freezerworks

Nobel Prize Lab Uses Freezerworks to Manage Dendritic Cell Research

The Rockefeller University's Laboratory of Cellular Physiology and Immunology, a research lab founded by a Nobel Laureate, faced the challenge of managing tens of thousands of clinical trial sample aliquots for numerous domestic and international collaborators. James Pring, the Senior Co-Facilities Manager, needed to oversee the entire sample workflow and sought a more efficient solution than manual spreadsheets to handle shipping and tracking. To solve this, the lab implemented Freezerworks, specifically utilizing its sample management and shipping module.

Using Freezerworks provided powerful search tools, streamlined shipping management with custom manifests, and an intuitive interface that required minimal training. The solution saved significant time, enabled the lab to pass rigorous inspections with ease, and provided the flexibility to adapt to new trials. As a result, Pring reported that Freezerworks sped up workflows dramatically, allowed for precise sample tracking, and ultimately reduced the amount of time he needed to work on weekends.
