Systems and methods for remotely monitoring the cryogenic processing of samples

A system for remotely monitoring cryogenic processing of a plurality of samples, the system comprising:

• at least a plurality of thawing machines each for thawing a sample of the plurality of samples;
• a remote server located remote from the plurality of thawing machines, the remote server configured to transmit same predetermined sample thawing profile data to each of the plurality of thawing machines;
• wherein each of the plurality of thawing machines comprises at least one sensor, the at least one sensor configured to detect thawing sensor data relating to the thawing of the sample in accordance with the predetermined sample thawing profile data;
• and
• wherein the remote server is further configured to receive a plurality of thawing sensor data from the plurality of thawing machines, the system being further characterised in that each respective thawing machine of the plurality of thawing machines further comprise a respective control module, the respective control module being configured to detect at least one of thawing machine data, sample thawing data and user data, relating to the thawing of the sample in accordance with the same predetermined sample thawing profile data transmitted to each of the plurality of thawing machines, the respective control module being further configured to provide a respective local user of the respective thawing machine with means to provide a sample ID associated with the sample and select the predetermined sample thawing profile from a plurality of predetermined sample thawing profiles, wherein the predetermined sample thawing profile is associated with the sample ID;
• and in that the remote server is further configured to receive from the plurality of thawing machines the detected thawing machine data, sample thawing data, and/or user data, generate a thawing consistency report from the received data that is indicative of thawing performance of the plurality of samples across the plurality of thawing machines indicative of at least one anomaly in the received data, and present the thawing consistency report to a remote user with a graphical representation of a single thawing machine of the plurality of thawing machines, a single user of a plurality of local users of the plurality of thawing machines, or a single predetermined thawing profile of the plurality of predetermined sample thawing profiles associated with the at least one anomaly.
