Absolute Custom Precision. Unrestricted Capacity.
Stop hunting through physical racks and relying on outdated spreadsheets. LABA’s Virtual Storage module is a bespoke biobank digital twin and custom LIMS solution engineered to replicate your infrastructure. Whether mapping liquid nitrogen tanks, -80°C freezers, or ambient shelves, you gain unrestricted scale to mirror your exact physical capacity and effortlessly track every vial's location.
Custom Digital Replication
Create unlimited virtual representations of your storage units. Replicate your exact physical layouts—down to the specific custom tower, rack, box, and individual grid coordinate.
Automated Expiry Control
Experience fast and user-friendly storage management. Set automated, four-level expiry alarms to ensure timely usage of sensitive materials, effectively preventing experimental waste.
One-Click Space Discovery
Never guess where space is available again. The intuitive dashboard showcases updated box contents and highlights free space instantly, streamlining the placement of incoming samples.
Effortless Navigation Meets Rigorous Auditing
We engineered the bespoke Virtual Storage Module to eliminate human error. By allowing users to select precise storage locations digitally before physically placing their reagents, the system ensures a perfectly organised cold-chain. Only pre-defined, approved items can be stored.
Enjoy complete control over your custom stored content. Every item placed into or removed from virtual storage is meticulously logged by date and user, providing a comprehensive, audit-ready overview of all your facilities.

Virtual Storage in Practice
How does LABA map virtual storage for laboratories?
LABA utilises a bespoke virtual storage LIMS module to create unlimited digital twins of your physical freezers, cryo-tanks, and ambient units, ensuring exact cold-chain data integrity without per-unit licensing penalties.
Can LABA map non-standard or custom-dimensioned cryogenic freezers and liquid nitrogen tanks?
Yes. LABA is engineered with full architectural flexibility to replicate any physical storage layout, including 9×9 and 10×10 matrix cryo-boxes, multi-level drawer towers, liquid nitrogen pie racks, and custom-dimensioned laboratory incubators.
How does virtual storage prevent duplicate placement of sample vials?
The virtual storage module enforces strict slot-locking rules. Once a cell coordinate is occupied by an aliquot, the system visually highlights its status and rejects any attempt to assign another sample to that slot, preventing sample collisions and lost specimens.
How does virtual storage coordinate with sample relocation during emergency freezer breakdown?
Virtual storage integrates directly with LABA's Storage Relocation Module. When an emergency compressor failure occurs, technicians can select the failing unit in virtual storage and evacuate complete racks or boxes to target backup units in seconds with full audit traceability.
