As part of the Biobank project the University has developed a new Research Freezer Management Policy to achieve best management practice of Ultracold freezers and their research materials. The policy takes into account the "ABC approach of Complete Freezer Management" which consists of three initiatives:

a. FreezerPro, the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)

b. The Biobank

c. Guidelines for the physical management of local freezers in all Schools

The successful implementation of this approach will be beneficial to the University in reducing the University's research and financial risk by securely storing, managing and recording critical research material and establishing one standard recording and reporting system for all freezers and their contents.
