Cryo-Stock Expiry Tracker (GMP / Clinical)
Track cryo-stock lots, quantities and expiry with FEFO ordering and reorder alerts — tuned for a GMP or clinical-diagnostics facility. 100% in your browser.
Log every cryo-stock with its lot, quantity and expiry; the list reorders by soonest-to-expire (FEFO) so biobanks and cell-line repositories use the right stock first and waste nothing. Default shelf-life ≈ 10.0 year(s); stored LN₂ vapour phase −150 °C. Designed to prevent lost viability from a tank that ran low on liquid nitrogen.
Default shelf-life for this category ≈ 3650 days from manufacture. Items within 30 days of expiry are flagged.
Indicative planning tool for research operations. Figures are estimates — verify lot data, expiry, calibration and budgets against the original certificates, vendor documentation and your institution's policies.
Free cryo-stock expiry tracker with FEFO ordering and reorder alerts for a GMP or clinical-diagnostics facility — runs offline, no sign-up.
About Cryo-Stock Expiry Tracker (GMP / Clinical)
Built for GMP and accredited clinical labs: longer lead-time alerts and an audit column so an inspector can trace every lot.

How to use Cryo-Stock Expiry Tracker (GMP / Clinical)
- 1Add each cryo-stock: name, lot/catalog number, quantity in vials, and the printed expiry date.
- 2Watch the FEFO strip — items within 30 days of expiry are flagged so you can use or reorder them first.
- 3Export the list to CSV any time for ordering, audits or handover; nothing is uploaded.
Why use Cryo-Stock Expiry Tracker (GMP / Clinical)?
- ✓Used by biobanks and cell-line repositories to stop stock expiring unnoticed and to keep cryo-stock purchasing predictable.
- ✓FEFO ordering surfaces the next cryo-stock to use, and the 30-day alert gives time to reorder before a gap.
- ✓An audit / CoA reference column makes every lot traceable for inspectors and accreditation reviews.
Frequently asked questions
What is FEFO and why does it matter for cryo-stocks?+
FEFO means First-Expired-First-Out: you consume the stock with the nearest expiry before newer stock, regardless of when it arrived. For cryo-stocks this avoids lost viability from a tank that ran low on liquid nitrogen, cuts waste and keeps results consistent. This tracker sorts every entry by expiry automatically so the next item to use is always at the top.
How long do cryo-stocks typically last, and how should they be stored?+
Unopened, a cryo-stock commonly carries about 10.0 year(s) of shelf-life, stored LN₂ vapour phase −150 °C. Always defer to the lot-specific expiry on the certificate or label — manufacturer dating accounts for the exact formulation and is what an auditor will check.
Is my inventory data private?+
Yes. Everything is stored locally in your browser using localStorage — no account, no upload, no server. That offline-first design is exactly what institutional IT and sensitive clinical/GMP environments require, and it means the tool keeps working with no internet.
Can I use this for a GMP or clinical-diagnostics facility?+
Yes — this variant is tuned for a GMP or clinical-diagnostics facility: the reorder alert is set to 30 days and an audit/CoA reference column is included for traceability. Add your own columns by adapting the entries, and export to CSV to feed your ordering or LIMS workflow.
