Automated freezers, like Hamilton BiOS, are used in high throughput biobanks to reduce the time needed to store and retrieve the samples, and maintain high-quality samples. OpenSpecimen is integrated with Hamilton BiOS at the University of Maryland and can be integrated with other freezers too.

Pre-registration of Specimen barcodes:

When a specimen is stored in

the BiOS freezer, OpenSpecimen will send a message to BiOS pre-register the barcodes.

This will ensure that the BiOS will only accept barcodes that are registered in OpenSpecimen.

Retrieve specimens in "one-click"

You can retrieve one or more specimens from BiOS in "one-click". You can do it from many pages in OpenSpecimen. For example,

  1. Add specimens to a Cart (Cart → Actions → Retrieve)
  2. From Freezer page (Container → Specimens list → Retrieve)
  3. From the Order page (Order → Distribute) - Submitting order will automatically retrieve the specimens from BiOS.

Use cases not supported

  1. Temperature changes in BiOS
  2. Communication is only one-way right now, i.e. OpenSpecimen to BiOS. OpenSpecimen won't be updated if you retrieve a specimen directly in BiOS. This is due to the lack of appropriate "push" APIs in BiOS.
