In efforts to align our service offerings with Mass General Brigham IS Service Desk, we've created this Service Catalog. The service catalog is the central repository of resources and services that we provide. Some services and requests are integrated with the Mass General Brigham IS Service Desk and some are supported independently by Digital Research. Please use the "How to initiate" to request a service and the "Service Contacts" provided for inquiries. See the Service Overview Document for the latest version.

| Freezer Inventory Systems (ERIS) |
Freezerworks is a secure, electronic sample tracking system for labs and biorepositories. This software creates a flexible, user-driven freezer management system. If your lab has a fairly simple data set and a small to moderate volume of data, you may want to consider the Inventory tool built into LabArchives. If you are currently tracking small data set for samples that's manageable in Excel, you may want to use the LabArchives Office integration to store backups/snapshots of your data, or for group editing. Some labs use Quartzy or LabVantage, but these are not vetted or supported by Digital Research. |
