Every sample placed. Every move traced.
Brand-Agnostic Cryo Tank Management

Every sample placed. Every move traced.

The digital inventory and 2D mapping system that ends the era of handwritten straws and lost samples. Built for −196 °C. Proven across 10+ years of LN₂ storage. Works standalone — or as one mind with IVFID Witness and CMS.

10+ years of LN₂-proven tags All tank brands supported Full cryo history, one search
Why this matters

Handwritten labels fade. Memory does not survive 10 years at −196 °C.

Manually written straws and vials lose their ink. Different staff handwriting becomes unreadable months later. A misread Date of Birth, a missed patient initial — and an embryo is mismatched, or worse, thawed by mistake.

Every manual cryo operation forces the embryologist to open the tank just to check free space — wasting LN₂ and exposing every other sample to a temperature shock.

Tank management is the single most time-consuming, staff-heavy task in an IVF lab. Tank Control replaces guesswork with a digital truth that survives a decade in liquid nitrogen.

The solution

One platform. Every tank. Every sample. Forever traceable.

IVFID Tank Control turns your cryo room into a fully digital, RFID-verified, brand-independent inventory — from the first vial frozen to the last patient transfer.

2D Tank Mapping

Map any tank. Of any brand. Down to the last cane and goblet.

Visual 2D schematics built for any tank model — MVE, Taylor-Wharton, Chart, Cryotherm, Air Liquide and every other manufacturer. Address every position. See every fill level. Plan placements before the tank is even opened.

Brand-Independent

Custom 2D map per tank model. Configure cane, goblet and slot layout for any vendor — no vendor lock-in.

Real-Time Fill Levels

See live occupancy per tank, per canister, per cane — on tablet, mobile or KPI dashboard.

Plan Before You Open

Choose the exact address before the tank lid is lifted. One single, brief opening per cryo. Less LN₂ loss, less thermal stress.

Multi-Tank, Multi-Branch

No limit on tanks. Multi-site clinics monitor every cryo room from a unified dashboard.

RFID Labels — Built for −196 °C

The only RFID label proven to live a decade in liquid nitrogen.

Our LN₂-grade RFID labels are the only ones in this system. They fit every brand of straw, vial and cryotop. They are auto-printed at the workstation, fully customizable, and they survive what every other label cannot.

Live Workflow

Cryo and Thaw — from the cabinet, from your hand.

Every cryo and thaw operation runs from the laminar-flow tablet station — or the IVFID Mobile RFID Reader. Identity, sample, address and audit log captured in one fluid motion.

Freeze with confidence — every detail captured

Scan patient + sample, choose pre-planned tank address, auto-print label, place into tank. Every cryo detail — embryo grade, day, freezing method, straw count, operator — is captured on tablet in seconds. Tank map updates instantly.

1. Staff RFID login at workstation
2. Patient + sample verification
3. Pre-planned tank address shown
4. Auto label print + RFID encode
5. Place into tank → map updates live

Thaw with safety — abnormal PGT samples cannot be thawed by mistake

Scan the sample at the laminar flow. The system shows the full cryo history of that exact embryo or oocyte. If the sample was frozen as PGT-Abnormal, the system blocks the thaw and warns the embryologist. Address is cleared automatically on the tank map.

1. RFID-scan the sample
2. System shows cryo history + PGT status
3. Hard block if PGT-Abnormal
4. Confirm thaw → tank address cleared
5. Audit log: operator, time, reason

Mobile RFID Reader — the entire system in your hand

Walk to the tank with the IVFID handheld reader. Login, verify, cryo, thaw, audit — every step works the same as on the tablet. Perfect for multi-room labs, off-site cryo banks and emergency operations.

1. Staff RFID login on device
2. Scan patient or sample
3. Full cryo / thaw / move operations
4. Real-time sync with tank map
5. Offline buffer in case of Wi-Fi loss

One-time tank addressing — automatic label printing forever after

Set up each tank once — define cane and goblet layout, assign positions. From that moment on, every cryo automatically prints a fully populated label for the next available address. No more re-mapping. No more manual entry.

1. Add tank → choose model template
2. Define cane / goblet grid
3. Confirm capacity
4. Address scheme generated automatically
5. Ready for first cryo
Safety net

Four safety layers between human error and a cryo accident.

Tank Control is not just inventory — it is the safety system that watches everything you do at −196 °C.

PGT-Abnormal Thaw Block

If a sample was frozen as PGT-Abnormal, the system blocks any attempt to thaw it. A supervisor override is required and logged — preventing the wrong embryo from ever being transferred.

Cryo Expiry Auto-Tracking

Annual consent renewal is tracked automatically. Patients receive automatic SMS + email reminders X days before expiry — X is set per clinic policy.

Auto Consent Form Printing

Cryo, thaw, transfer, destruction, storage extension — every consent form is generated from the system in your clinic's exact template. Pre-filled with patient and sample data.

Full Audit Trail

Every operation logs date, time, operator (RFID-authenticated), tank address, sample ID and reason. Immutable. Court-ready. Exportable.

Integration

Stand alone — or one mind with the rest of IVFID.

Buy Tank Control on its own to digitize your cryo room. Or run it as part of the full IVFID ecosystem — Witness and CMS sharing one identity, one database, one truth.

+ IVFID Witness

+ IVFID Witness

Witness verifies the patient and sample identity at the laminar flow. Tank Control receives the verified IDs and writes the cryo address. Same RFID, same login, same audit log. Zero double entry.

+ IVFID CMS

+ IVFID CMS

CMS holds the full patient file, treatment cycle, embryo grading and PGT results. Tank Control reads PGT status to drive the thaw block, and pushes cryo events back to the patient timeline.

Patient lifecycle

One search. The complete cryo story of any patient.

Search a patient — see every embryo, oocyte and sperm sample ever frozen for them. Every cryo, every thaw, every move, every consent, every note. A complete cryo lifecycle on a single screen.

Full cryo history search

Single search returns the entire frozen-sample lifeline of any patient — across any number of tanks and branches.

Shared follow-up notes

When you call a patient for storage renewal, the conversation goes into a Notes block visible to every other team member.

Transfer & destruction

External transfer or end-of-storage destruction is executed from the system. The tank address is automatically cleared and the consent form is generated.

Encrypted MS SQL

All patient data is encrypted in an MS SQL database — your clinic's data, on your infrastructure, with audit-grade access control.

Frequently asked

Tank Control — what every embryologist asks.

Will it really work with our existing tank brand?
Yes. Tank Control is fully brand-agnostic. We have customers running MVE, Taylor-Wharton, Chart, Cryotherm, Air Liquide and other brands on the same platform. A 2D mapping template is created for each model — cane count, goblet layout, slot capacity — so the tank in your room is mirrored exactly on the tablet.
How long do the RFID labels actually survive in liquid nitrogen?
Our oldest customers have RFID-labelled samples in LN₂ for 10+ years that remain perfectly readable today. The labels are purpose-engineered for cryogenic temperature, with no fading, no adhesive failure and no signal loss. This is not a lab claim — it is a track record.
Can the labels be customized to our clinic's information layout?
Completely. The label designer is dynamic — drag and drop fields like patient name, protocol number, blood group, cryo date, sample count, sample quality, lot number, custom QR. Set fonts, sizes, logos. Each label template can be saved and reused.
Can Tank Control prevent thawing of an abnormal PGT embryo?
Yes — this is a flagship safety feature. When a sample is RFID-scanned at the laminar flow for thaw, the system reads its PGT status. If the sample was frozen as PGT-Abnormal, the thaw is hard-blocked. A supervisor RFID override is required to proceed, and the override is logged with reason. This single feature has prevented serious clinical incidents.
Does it have to be used with IVFID Witness or CMS?
No. Tank Control is a complete stand-alone product. You can buy and run it on its own to digitize your cryo room — and add Witness or CMS later. When all three are used together, they share one identity, one RFID and one database, eliminating double entry.
How are patients reminded about cryo storage renewals?
The system tracks every cryo sample's consent expiry date automatically. X days before expiry — X is configured per clinic — the patient receives an SMS and email reminder. Your team gets a parallel dashboard alert. Follow-up calls are logged in the Notes section, visible to every operator.
Can we generate consent forms from the system?
Yes — every consent form (cryo, thaw, transfer, destruction, storage extension) is generated from the system in your clinic's exact template, pre-filled with patient and sample data. Print, sign, scan back — or use the optional e-signature flow.
How is patient data protected?
All patient data is stored encrypted in an MS SQL database, hosted on your clinic's infrastructure (on-premise or your private cloud). Access is RFID-authenticated, role-based, and every read or write is recorded in an immutable audit log.
We have multiple branches. Can one dashboard see all tanks across all sites?
Yes. There is no limit on the number of tanks or branches. Multi-site clinics monitor every cryo room from a single unified dashboard — total samples, free positions, expiring consents, recent activity, per-branch breakdown.
What's the cost — is it really a one-time license?
Licensing is one-time + annual maintenance, scaled to clinic size and number of tanks. RFID labels are consumables, priced per unit. No per-cryo or per-thaw fees. We share full pricing during a demo call — every clinic is different.
