Basics

The Inventory module helps you keep track of everything in your lab — from samples and reagents to equipment and supplies. It provides a clear, organized overview of your laboratory assets and supports efficient, compliant lab operations.

What You Can Do
Visualize your lab

• Map out freezers, shelves, racks, and boxes to see exactly where items are stored.
• Navigate your lab’s structure digitally for quick retrieval and better organization.

Flexible, integrated sample management

• Manage individual or bulk samples with ease.
• Update sample information, track quantities, and link items directly to experiments in the Journal.

Full audit trail

• Every action — creation, modification, movement, or deletion — is logged automatically.
• Ensures traceability and supports compliance with good laboratory practices.

Centralized ordering through product catalog

• Link inventory items to the product catalog to streamline supply management.
• Helps centralize ordering, reduce duplication, and maintain consistent stock levels.

Equipment management

• Track equipment usage, booking, maintenance, calibration, and documentation.
  Store manuals, certificates, and service records in one place.
• Facilitate sharing and scheduling across teams.

Best Practice Tip
Keep your inventory up to date and link items to your Journal entries. This improves traceability, supports reproducibility, and helps your lab stay organized and compliant.
