“Freezerworks is my method of choice for clinical sample receipt, inventorying, and management for in-house testing distribution of more than 80,000 samples, soon to be 300,000+...Without Freezerworks, the alternative would have been to develop a custom program, for which we were looking at perhaps $50K-$100K just for development. [In Freezerworks] we got a reliable and powerful system that our sample management personnel can use.”

When starting Freezerworks or Freezerworks Unlimited for the first time after installation, the program flashes on the screen and then quits.

When starting Freezerworks or Freezerworks Unlimited for the first time after installation, you may notice that the program flashes on the screen and then quits.  This is an indication that you may need to add it as an allowed program in Data Execution Prevention (DEP).
