Your lab may describe freezer box positions listed out as numbers 1-81 for a standard 9x9 box.
If you want to import your freezer box details to Quartzy and be able to use Quartzy's interactive freezer boxes, all you need to do is transfer those numbers to the letter-number nomenclature required to do the import successfully.
See the chart below, showing the equivalent numbering system:

Next Up: Learn how to manage items within freezer boxes
Is there anyway to change to using the numbers instead of the letter-number arrangement? All of our boxes are labeled numerically, especially all of our cryo-boxes.
Hi Levi,
Right now, the alpha-numeric system works best since it applies to freezer boxes of all different sizes. We may consider adding the ability to customize the position system in the future so we'll be sure to update you via this page if that is developed. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Monica,
Would be possible to show in the cryo boxes the whole name instead of a portion? At least reach to max character capacity...
Thanks and good job!
Hi Miguel,
I can add that request to the list! Maybe if we change the view so that you can zoom in and out, that might be a way to allow you to see more of the item names. I'll be sure to reply here again if we make this change. :)
