OpenSpecimen can be integrated with any automated freezer and do the operation like put/retrieve specimen. To work integration need to do below configuration.

Step 1: Register auto freezer provider

We need to register provider and set properties which are used to connect with freezer.

To register provider invoke below REST API

URL	http://<host>:<port>/openspecimen/rest/ng/auto-freezer-providers
Method	POST
Input JSON	{ "name": "Any thing that makes sense" "implClass": "Concrete Java class that implements the interface AutomatedFreezer", "props": { "prop1": "custom property1 required for the AutomatedFreezer implementation", "prop2": "custom property2 required for the AutomatedFreezer implementation", . . . } }
Example	{ "name": "Hamilton Bios", "implClass": "com.krishagni.autofreezers.hamilton.core.BiosFreezer", "props": { "url": "http://localhost:9000/api/v11/", "user": "admin", "password": "admin", "barcode_type": “ECC 200“, "job_priority": "100", "job_optimization_mode": "System", "job_destination_labware_type": "IOCassette" } }

Step 2: Create a dimensionless storage container as autofreezer.

To create a dimensionless container specifying that container as automated freezer need to invoke below API. Once we do this step add/retrieve the specimens from this container will invoke APIs of the actual automated freezer.

URL	http://<host>:<port>/openspecimen/rest/ng/storage-containers/{id}
Method	POST
Request	{ "name": "BiOS_Instrument", "displayName": "BiOS_Instrument", "usedFor": "STORAGE", "activityStatus": "Active", "siteName": "RTOG", "positionLabelingMode": "NONE", "positionAssignment": "HZ_TOP_DOWN_LEFT_RIGHT", "columnLabelingScheme": "Numbers", "rowLabelingScheme": "Numbers", "storeSpecimensEnabled": true, "automated": true, "autoFreezerProvider": "Hamilton Bios", "allowedCollectionProtocols": [], "calcAllowedCollectionProtocols": [], "temperature": -80, "cellDisplayProp": "SPECIMEN_LABEL", "allowedSpecimenClasses": [], "calcAllowedSpecimenClasses": [ "Tissue", "Fluid", "Molecular", "Cell" ], "allowedSpecimenTypes": [], "calcAllowedSpecimenTypes": [], "allowedDistributionProtocols": [], "calcAllowedDistributionProtocols": [], "occupiedPositions": [], "printLabels": false }

Enabling Store/Pick event notifications:

Steps:

Login to Hamilton UI.
Navigate to settings.
Enable JOB Status Notification.
Add JOB Status Notification endpoint: <app_url>/rest/ng/bios-notifs e.g. https://test.openspecimen.org/rest/ng/bios-notifs

After enabling this, OpenSpecimen shows the Store and Pick event ran on the Hamilton side on stored specimen overview page.

An e.g.
