Not at all. LabProtector is fully configurable, allowing each workstation to use RFID, barcodes, QR codes, or a combination of technologies. The setup is tailored to your laboratory’s protocols, workflow, and desired level of automation.Accordion Content

LabProtector offers CryoSpacer, a unique patent-pending solution based on smart placeholders with individual location codes. Each placeholder represents a specific storage position, creating a reliable connection between the sample, the storage action, and its precise physical location.

The system does not rely solely on a location selected on a screen. When a sample is stored, the unique code on the physical CryoSpacer removed from that position is scanned. This verifies and digitally records the actual storage location.

Yes. LabProtector records sample movement between workstations and shows where each sample was last identified, when it was handled, and which step is expected next. This provides the laboratory with a clear, up-to-date view of every sample’s journey.

Yes. Each workflow can be configured with its required sequence and timing. If a sample reaches the wrong workstation, remains at a stage longer than expected, or does not follow the defined process, the system can immediately alert the team.

LabProtector verifies the relationship between the active patient, the sample, and the workstation. If any mismatch is detected, the team is alerted before the process continues, providing an essential additional layer of protection.

LabProtector synchronizes patient identity between the procedure room and the relevant laboratory workstation. This helps ensure that both areas are aligned with the same patient before the next stage proceeds.

Not necessarily. RFID enables automatic identification without requiring the user to aim a scanner at each tag. Where deliberate visual verification is preferred, barcode or QR scanning can be used instead. The laboratory determines the most appropriate method for every workstation.

RFID provides speed and automation, while a visible QR code and patient information provide an additional means of verification. Combining electronic and visual identification reduces reliance on a single identification method and strengthens the laboratory’s safety process.

Yes. LabProtector is configured around the laboratory’s established professional protocols. Workstations, identification methods, workflow stages, permissions, timing rules, and alerts can all be adapted to the laboratory’s requirements.

No. LabProtector works with the equipment already in place in your laboratory. There is no need to replace existing devices, workstations, or laboratory infrastructure. The system adapts to your environment—not the other way around.

LabProtector is installed in just one working day. This applies even to the largest laboratories with multiple workstations and high sample volumes.

No. Installation is completed without shutting down the laboratory. The LabProtector team works alongside ongoing laboratory activity, allowing your team to maintain operational continuity throughout the installation day.

Staff training is completed in one working day and is tailored to the laboratory’s actual workflows, roles, and daily responsibilities. Following implementation, an authorized LabProtector implementation and training specialist remains available on-site to support the laboratory team until they feel confident, fully independent, and ready to operate the system on their own.

No. LabProtector is designed for rapid implementation in laboratories of every size. Even in large laboratories with numerous workstations and significant activity, installation is completed within one working day and without operational shutdown.

No. LabProtector is designed to support the laboratory’s existing workflow without adding unnecessary steps. By combining automatic identification, real-time verification, and immediate alerts, the system strengthens safety while helping embryologists work efficiently—even during periods of high workload.

CryoSpacer placeholders represent available positions and are linked to their exact locations in the system. When a position becomes occupied or available again, the relevant action is recorded, providing a clearer and more accurate view of storage capacity.

Yes. LabProtector can monitor storage renewal dates and support automated patient notifications regarding their stored samples and upcoming payments. This helps the laboratory maintain accurate records, reduce administrative workload, and communicate with patients consistently and on time.

Yes. The system helps identify available positions and supports the organized consolidation of compatible samples belonging to the same patient, in accordance with laboratory protocols. This reduces unnecessary dispersion and allows better use of existing freezer capacity.

A standard identification system primarily answers one question: “Is this the correct sample?” LabProtector goes further by asking: “Is this the correct sample, at the correct workstation, for the correct patient, at the correct stage—and is its cryogenic storage location accurately documented?” It creates one continuous safety and traceability framework from the laboratory workflow to long-term storage.
