Choosing a location in the cryo storage

When the arrow at the rigtht of the field "Storage place" is clicked the following window will open:

The fastest way to choose a position is to select it in the Storages list and press ok.When a position is selected in the storage details will be shown the samples just stored in that position with the information related to the colours, patient, ID, position and type of material contained in each straw.

It is also possible to select a position with certain features, for example using the drop down menus in the "Search for storaging place":

or searching:

• for the first position containing samples from a given max number of patients (eg. a position that contains samples from maximum two different patients),
• for the first position containing a maximum number of samples
• for the position that contains a straw with a given ID

Finally, clicking on the print icon, it is possible to print the list of all the materials coontained in the cryo storage for the selected patient.

Note: the "architecture" of the cryo storage may be customized in the Cryo storage section in the settings

Thawing a sample

By clicking on the "-" icon it is possible to thaw the selected sample. The following window will open:

Just select the reason of thawing, the thawing date and confirm. The sample will be removed from the cryostorage and it will appear in the history section:

Note: if the reason selected is "Mistakenly documented" the sample won't appear in the history section

Cryostorage overview 

In order to have an overview of all the materials stored in the cryo storage just select cryostorage overview in the system menu: 

By selecting "Gyn" or "Andro" will be shown only the tank that are dedicated only to oocytes/embryo or sperm. If a tank is dedicated to both materials it will be shown either in the gyn or andro.

To select all the tank choose Gyn and andro.

Once made the choice will be opened the same window seen in the "Choosing a location in the cryo storage" paragraph. The only difference is that when the printing icon is clicked the user will be able to print a list related to all the patient that have material in the cryostorage.

Note: to dedicate a tank to Gyn, Andro or both material access the Cryo storage section in the settings.
