[Histonet] Software for Tracking/Archiving Long-term Storage of Various Specimens

[Michelle Lamphere]

What are people using to keep track of tissue specimens that they archive?  We have an archive of wet and frozen tissues going back to the early 90's and are looking into a software program that will allow us to keep track of these specimens.  We would also like to then generate a variety of reports based on the tissue that we have archived.  Ideally, it would be nice if the program interfaced with EPIC Beaker, but that is not essential.  Within the program, we would like to be able to delineate different categories that the specimens might fit into.  Does such a program exist?  If you are currently using a program, what do you like?  And what are the limitations?  We are currently in the process of implementing AB&T with Cerner, but will be moving to Epic in the next couple of years.

Thank you in advance
