Laboratory Inventory Management System
Manage and track your reagents, samples, and lab supplies in one place, connect them to experiments and results, and assign inventory responsibilities to team members.
Manage and track your reagents, samples, and lab supplies in one place, connect them to experiments and results, and assign inventory responsibilities to team members.
SciNote’s flexible lab inventory management system allows you to manage and track everything you use in the lab – from reagents, samples, to supplies and instruments.
Customize the columns as you need, and attach files such as product sheets, manuals, or MSDS. Quickly find everything related to your lab inventory items in this centralized database. Here are a few examples:
Samples & Reagents
Biological specimens, extracted DNA, RNA or proteins, chemical compounds, sampled plants, tissues, cells, cell lines, food or feed, etc. are frequently at the core of work in many labs. Manage information related to samples such as IDs, description, storage locations, related documents, status, availability and much more in a dedicated centralized SciNote Inventory. Then, assign samples to SciNote Tasks to create links with your results and protocols.
Reagents
To record consumption of reagents, create a central repository of reagents for your lab or the entire organization. Include information such as stock, re-order details, SKUs, MSDS documents, recipes, location, lot or batch info. Then connect reagents to your protocols and results to ensure traceability, when you’ll need it.
Primers and plasmids
Build your database of primers or plasmids in SciNote. Add sequence and other information such as manufacturer, references to publications, links to public databases, you can even include plasmid maps.
Then reference primers of plasmids in your experiments to trace back which one you used.
Instruments
Instruments are vital parts of lab work. Record which instrument you used to execute which protocol and which Samples were run on it. To do that build a database of your instruments in SciNote Inventories and share it across your organization. Add user guides, calibration and scheduled maintenance dates to keep users informed.
Ever got caught off guard by low stock?
SciNote’s stock management feature will help you automate laboratory stock monitoring.
Laboratory stocks consumed in experiment tasks will be automatically deducted, and you will get an alert when stocks run low. Date reminders can notify you about expired reagents, instrument calibration, or sample monitoring.
Print labels for any lab inventory items – samples, and reagents to label tubes, plates, racks, or other containers that hold them – to keep your lab organized. Each inventory item comes with a unique QR code in SciNote; incorporate it into your label, so you can locate all the information about the item with a quick scan.
SciNote supports some models of Zebra label printers and Fluics label printers. See how you can start printing labels with SciNote:
Cross-reference inventory items within experiment tasks, protocols, and results, so you can trace back to the reagent stock or sample batch that gives you the best success, and avoid time and money wasted.
Cite lab inventory information in comments to help facilitate timely discussion and efficient collaboration.
Transition can be simple – import your existing lab inventory spreadsheet directly into SciNote’s inventory. Here is how it’s done:
You can continue editing your new lab inventory, adding new columns and individual samples, or import a new batch of samples.
