Rearranging boxes on a cane

Move the box as a unit so every vial retains its position within the box and its existing history.

  1. Open the box in CryoIndex.
  2. Open the top-corner menu and choose Move this box.
  3. Select the destination or the box to swap with.
  4. Make the matching physical move and confirm the new cane and box location.

What CryoIndex preserves

  • Every vial keeps its position inside the box and its existing history.
  • Moving to an occupied box label swaps the two boxes; moving to an empty label leaves the old label empty.
  • The destination field can use the box label the lab reads physically, including a custom label.
  • If the move crosses the dewar’s configured liquid- and vapor-phase boundary, the app shows that change before confirmation.
