Frederick, MD, December 09, 2009 – RURO Inc., a leading developer of innovative research
productivity tools, introduces RFID (radio-frequency identification) component for its FreezerPro®
frozen sample management system. RFID-enabled FreezerPro creates transparent frozen sample
storage with always up-to-date map and flexible search, ensures better sample preservation with
samples never leaving freezers unless used, and makes access control management and storage
audits inherently easy.
“Using radio-tags has a lot of advantages specifically for larger cryo-storage facilities: not only box
contents are always well described and clearly mapped, but also operators’ mistakes can be
immediately corrected without losing precious materials,” said Doug Milliken, Sales Director at RURO.
“In smaller laboratories this system could also be useful for sample management over the years,
especially if there is a quick turnover of personnel, which is a common occasion in academic
environment. RFID-enabled FreezerPro is a brand-new tool to facilitate biomedical research”.
Modern RFID technology is miniaturized and cheap. It is applied to storage boxes and cryovials
through self-adhesive cryo-safe labels that combine barcode and radio-tags for maximum safety and
redundancy. Designed to remain in freezers for long term storage, those labels can be printed and
applied also to previously frozen samples.
The package includes FreezerPro software, high-resolution barcode/RFID printer, self-adhesive labels
with built-in RFID tags, RFID reader and antennas, ensuring easy setup and seamless user experience.
