Having worked in a lab, I do not think this is FUD. Cryogenic freezers commonly cost > $10,000. Needless to say, space is very much at a premium. Worse, moving samples between freezers is incredibly time consuming because allowing them to thaw even slightly will often damage them. In a biomedical lab such as you might reasonably expect to find at Harborview, many of the samples will invariable be living cells that have been frozen in order to preserve them (ie they can be thawed later and will still be alive... some percentage of them, at least). These samples are incredibly sensitive to how they are handled.
