Tips on organizing frozen cells
#1
Hello! My name is matt and I'm currently working as a Research Associate for a biotech company in which I do cloning and produce stable cell lines.

My question here is more a logistic one...Do any of you have tips on keeping a log of your frozen cells?
We keep them in the usual 10X10 vial boxes thus far and have a crud Excel template where we "try" to log them.
Now we have a binder on top of the excel sheet but trying to consolodate both has proven really time consuming thus far.

Any advice on how you like to log your frozen cells? Tips on keeping a steamlined system? I'd really just like to get an idea of what other people are doing,
as ours seems somewhat inefficient. Thank you in advance for your help!

Best,
Matt

Not sure about the norm, but I feel that a simple script (in shell/perl) or a c-code should automate most of the process. May I have a template of the log (to see if I can try some automation for it). And what are the major roadblocks (or difficulties) you feel while maintaining the log?
