### Expired Racks

tube.tracker knows how long each rack should be stored. When a rack expires, it is flagged in red in a discard queue. Users can quickly and easily select and discard expired racks in just a few clicks. From this screen, racks can also be transferred to other locations or have their expiration dates renewed.

Automatic expiration saves your lab valuable time by showing exactly what tubes need to be addressed.
