OpenCryobank was a free web-based open-source database system specifically designed for tracking frozen sample inventory in biological laboratories.

Product history

The Open Laboratory Framework project began on SourceForge in January 2011[2], when developer Felipe Martínez Pastor decided to take matters into his own hands.

The last and only update to the file occurred on May 12, 2011 with the release of version 0.1. The project is presumably dead or abandoned.
