Lab Operations Software

Lab Management Software for Academic Research Labs

Shared inventory and samples that survive student turnover, on a budget — priced per lab, not per person.

Built for student turnover

Every sample has an owner and a location history, every stock change a record — so when the person who "knew where everything was" graduates, the knowledge stays in the system instead of leaving with them.

Shared inventory, honest answers

When three students and a postdoc share one antibody stock, "do we have any?" needs one answer, not four guesses. Per-item minimum stock, quantities per location, and low-stock alerts make shared consumption visible. Inventory management.

Reagents you can actually find

Lots with expiry dates, locations as a hierarchy, search across the whole inventory — the dreaded freezer cleanup becomes optional. Expired and soon-expiring stock is bucketed automatically.

Samples organized across projects and students

Samples carry type, status, owner, and project, with aliquot links to parents — so rotating students and overlapping projects don't orphan samples. Sample tracking.

Equipment records for grant reports

Maintenance and calibration histories with certificates and costs, warranty dates, and due-date alerts — the service record is already written when the grant report or shared-facility review asks for it. Equipment management.

SOPs that survive lab-member churn

Procedures with versions, approvals, effective dates, and per-version acknowledgements — so a new student trains on the current version, and "the protocol changed in March" is checkable. SOP management.

Budget

Priced so a grant can pay for it

One subscription covers the whole lab — students, postdocs, PIs — because the value is your lab's records, not the number of logins. The free plan is genuinely usable; paid plans are per lab. See pricing, or ask about academic discounts.

Setup

No IT project required

Sign up, create your organization, import your stock list from a CSV — the free inventory template gives you the format. No IT department, no procurement cycle, no training day: if a first-year can use a spreadsheet, they can use this.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — email us. The free plan is also a full plan, not a trial, so small labs can run on it indefinitely.

The lab's organization does — records belong to the organization, not to the person who created them. Ownership and status fields make handovers explicit, and roles control who can edit.

Yes. Each group is its own organization with isolated data; each person can be a member of multiple organizations and switch between them.
