Spring Cleaning!

Spring Cleaning!

Spring is officially here (in the Northern hemisphere) and that means it's time to do some spring cleaning.  That's right - it's time to put on some gloves and dig through your refrigerators, freezers, and cold rooms to find those long-forgotten samples. 

Thankfully there is a reward for your hard work - Freezer Challenge points!  Whether you're cleaning out your cold storage units for the first time ... ever, or whether you have just cleaned them out, the Freezer Challenge gives generous points to any lab willing to re-evaluate the samples they store in their freezers and refrigerators.

Cleaning out cold storage units has three main benefits:
  • Going through the process allows you to find potentially valuable samples
  • Going through the process makes it easy to create a sample inventory (another way to earn Freezer Challenge points!), which is a great way to ensure that you can easily find your valuable samples again
  • Discarding unneeded samples leads to more space, thus potentially eliminating the need to buy new units
As you clean out your cold storage units, let us know if you think you have the oldest sample.  We won't name names (unless you want us to), but we'd love to share what really old samples the Freezer Challenge community finds in the back of the freezer or refrigerator.  Email us at info@mygreenlab.org and let us know!

​Happy cleaning!
