Freezer Web Access is a user friendly program designed to assist researchers with establishing an efficient system for storing frozen biological samples.

FWA can track all of your research, development and process scale-up data in a single data storage platform, providing a organized and time effective means of keeping inventory and tracking samples on a large scale, while integrating sample storage and data storage on one easy-to-use format, minimizing confusion and increasing overall efficiency.

With FWA, storage of samples is simple and systematic by entering them into the program according to their physical arrangements we create virtual containers matching these configurations and dimensions.
