Tank Control - Take full control of your Cryo-Storage

Maximise IVF Lab Efficiency with TANK CONTROL - The Ultimate 2D Mapping and RFID Management System for Cryogenic Storage

TANK CONTROL is a specialised management system designed by the manufacturer IVFID, specifically for IVF clinics to handle frozen oocytes, embryos, and sperm samples with expert precision

By integrating advanced 2D mapping with durable RFID technology, our system ensures your IVF clinic achieves 100% efficiency in tank capacity while eliminating the risks of manual error

Key Features & Benefits

§  Custom 2D Tank Mapping & 100% Capacity Experience real-time visibility of the IVF labs entire storage infrastructure. The custom-designed 2D schema allows embryologists to track the occupancy of every Tank, Canister, and Cane

§  Plan exactly where a sample should be placed without ever needing to check the inside of the tank, maximizing your storage space and operational flow

§  Durable RFID & Automated Labelling Eliminate the need for manual writing on straws and vials

§  The system provides automated printing of cryo labels and RFID tags that are tested to withstand extreme temperatures as low as -196°C.

§ Identification through Frost  - one of the most significant advantages of this RFID technology is the ability to read samples without a direct line of sight.  Frosted straws can be identified instantly with a reader—no need to wipe away frost or risk unnecessary handling.

Enhanced Security & Verification Sample security is our priority. Before the thawing process begins, a mobile reader is used to verify patient information and sample details without removing the straw from the liquid nitrogen. Once the procedure is complete, the system automatically clears the relevant tank address, keeping your records updated in real-time.

Integration with LIMS improves traceability and regulatory compliance, while automated tank address recording during thawing reduces human error and enhances workflow efficiency

Comprehensive Reporting & Auditing Generate detailed, flexible reports based on date, time, personnel, or patient data.  The system creates a digital trail of all sample movements, simplifying your auditing process and ensuring your lab adheres to the highest quality standards

Designed for Seamless Integration

§  Easy Installation: Activate the system quickly without the need for extra hardware, specialized servers, or equipment.

§  Centralised Management: Manage an unlimited number of tanks from one central interface.

§  Flexible Setup: Choose between a secure cloud-based server or a local installation on your clinic’s own servers.

§  Automatic Reminders: Set the system to automatically notify patients and clinic staff via email when a cryopreservation contract is nearing its expiration date

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is TANK CONTROL?

TANK CONTROL is a cryogenic tank management solution built for IVF clinics, designed to track and manage frozen oocytes, embryos, and sperm samples. It integrates 2D mapping with RFID technology to maximise storage efficiency and sample security.

How does 2D mapping benefit lab workflows?

The system delivers a live 2D overview of your tanks, canisters, and canes, enabling staff to monitor occupancy and assign sample locations without physically opening the tank — always ensuring full capacity utilisation.

Are the RFID chips safe for liquid nitrogen?

Yes. All RFID chips and labels are custom-manufactured to perform reliably in extreme cryogenic conditions down to -196°C (-321°F), making them suitable for long-term liquid nitrogen storage.

Is additional hardware or server infrastructure required?

No. TANK CONTROL is straightforward to install and requires no specialised hardware. Clinics can opt for our secure cloud environment or install the system locally on existing servers.

Is the system compatible with my current straws and vials?

Yes. The system works with all straw and vial brands on the market. Cryo labels are automatically printed based on your addressing plan, eliminating the need for manual labelling.

Can samples be identified without removing frost?

Yes. RFID technology requires no direct line of sight, allowing frosted samples to be identified instantly using a mobile or laminar-flow reader — no frost removal or sample handling necessary.

How does the system reduce thawing errors?

Prior to any thawing procedure, a mobile reader verifies patient and sample details. Once confirmed and completed, the system automatically updates the relevant tank address, keeping inventory records accurate in real time.

Does the system support auditing and compliance reporting?

Yes. TANK CONTROL includes flexible reporting tools that log all procedures by date, time, staff member, and patient, creating a complete digital audit trail to support quality standards and regulatory compliance.

Can the system assist with managing patient contracts?

Yes. An automated reminder feature allows the system to alert both clinic staff and patients — for example, by email — a set number of days before a cryopreservation contract is due to expire.
