OpenCryobank is 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. After finding several expensive or overly-complicated options, Pastor set out to develop a "barebones" system that would handle his needs, specifically for managing samples at the small cryobank he worked at.[3]

The last and only update to the file occurred on May 12, 2011 with the release of version 0.1. It's unclear if work will continue on the project.
