Product

The records behind wet-lab work, connected.

Inventory, orders, protocols, samples, experiments, and equipment share the operational context that academic labs otherwise reconcile across separate tools.

One action, one connected record

Finish a protocol. Your inventory updates itself.

When someone logs a completed protocol run, LabOps Lite carries the linked operational updates forward — starting with the stock change that is easiest to forget:

Reagents deduct themselves from inventory
The exact amounts recorded for a completed protocol run are subtracted automatically — no separate tally and no guessing who used the last of it. Inventory stays aligned with documented protocol usage.
Exactly what was used is recorded
Every reagent and amount the run consumed is snapshotted onto its record — reproducible down to the last microliter.
The run is logged
Date, who ran it, and notes are saved to the protocol’s history — reproducible and auditable.
The calendar updates
The run lands on the shared lab calendar for everyone to see.
Low stock is flagged
If a run drops a reagent below its threshold, an alert fires before you run out.
The team stays in sync
Everyone sees the same inventory, history, and schedule updates within moments.

One action → five things updated. Nobody had to remember.

What that looks like in the app

You link a protocol’s reagents once, when you write it. From then on, logging a run subtracts the exact amounts from stock — and flags anything that just dropped too low.

A protocol run deducting reagents from inventoryLogging a run of the RNA extraction protocol subtracts each linked reagent's exact amount from inventory, logs the run, adds it to the calendar, and flags a reagent that dropped to low stock.labopslite.com/protocolsRNA extractionv2.1Run loggedThe protocol calls forTaq polymerase50 µLTRIzol reagent1 mLChloroform200 µLLinked once, when you write the protocol.Log runautomaticno one types itInventory updates itselfTaq polymerase850 µL→800 µL−50 µLTRIzol reagent500 mL→499 mL−1 mLChloroform4.2 mL→4.0 mL−200 µLChloroform dropped below its threshold — flagged as low stock.Every amount above came straight from the protocol.

Built around the work labs repeat.

Thirteen focused modules share the same lab context and operational history.

Dashboard
See low stock, custody gaps, work requests, active experiments, equipment readiness and bookings, overdue orders, reviews, and the week ahead.
Inventory
Track reagents and consumables with quantities, locations, vendor, catalog/SKU, lot, expiry, reorder points, adjustment history, and burn-down risk.
Orders
Move requests through approval, ordering, and receiving with vendors, quote/PO context, actual received quantities, QC/release evidence, and atomic inventory updates.
Protocols
Document versioned methods with linked reagents, guided run steps, review dates, and run history. Every completed run records who, when, and exactly what was used.
Experiments
Use reusable templates, editable titles, linked protocols and samples, structured sections and result tables, rich text, attachments, review, and finalization.
Projects
Nest projects up to five levels deep — a client programme, its phases, the work inside them. Each carries a timeline, status, custom parameters, and the tasks, samples, experiments, and orders filed against it.
Samples
A full sample console with type-aware grids, saved views, workbook intake, scanner operations, storage hierarchy/capacity, lineage, assay imports, work requests, custody, reports, and QR/1D labels.
Equipment
Book instruments without overlaps, track readiness, maintenance, calibration, SOP and training records, and link instrument runs to experiments and samples.
Calendar
A shared operational agenda for bookings, tasks, expected orders, protocol reviews, experiment reviews, deadlines, and completed protocol runs.
Team
See every member and their role, and invite your whole lab with a single access code. Each person gets their own login.
Messages
Live-updating chat with channels for the whole lab and direct messages for one-on-one or small groups.
Notes
Private notes just for you and shared notes for the whole lab — with rich-text formatting and file attachments, searchable and always where you left them.
Activity
A unified, timestamped trail of protocol runs, sample custody, inventory adjustments, order events, equipment records, revisions, audit diffs, packets, and report exports.

Sample tracking with real depth.

Not just a list of tubes. Every sample carries a complete, auditable life story — how it was received, where it lives, what it was split from, what results belong to it, and everywhere it’s been.

Spreadsheet intake workbooks
Paste or scan many related samples into a workbook, preflight duplicates and storage conflicts, then commit the batch with custody events.
Freeze / thaw tracking
Check a sample out and back in, and its freeze/thaw count ticks up on its own. Know at a glance which aliquots have been cycled too many times to trust.
Aliquot lineage
Split a sample and every child links back to its parent. The full derivation tree is one click away — no more guessing where a tube came from.
Freezer & box mapping
Give every sample a real freezer, box, and grid position. The visual cryobox map shows exactly what’s where — and what space is left.
QR + optional 1D labels
Print QR labels for phone scanning, add 1D barcodes when bench scanners fit your workflow, or export Zebra-compatible ZPL for label printers.
Assay runs, results, and jobs
Import instrument result runs, review or supersede them, and keep assay designs, results, picklists, work requests, and jobs beside the samples they govern.
Saved grids and reports
Save filters and column layouts, operate on selected rows, and export readiness, capacity, assay, label, and audit views without rebuilding the same report.
At the bench

Scan a label. Check it in or out.

Every sample can print a QR label for phone scanning, with optional 1D barcode output for scanner/printer workflows. Point your phone’s camera at the QR — no app to install — and you land straight on that sample, with big buttons to check it out or back in. Each check-in logs a freeze/thaw automatically.

Know before you run out

See what you’re burning through.

Protocol-run deductions and recorded negative inventory adjustments feed a burn rate for each reagent — over the last 5 days, week, month, year, or all time — so the weakest stock positions surface first.

Built to be trusted.

The safeguards a lab’s data deserves — quietly handled.

Isolated per lab
Every lab’s data is private and walled off at the database level. Members only ever see their own lab — never anyone else’s.
Connected operational history
Recorded events preserve their actor and timestamp so you can review sample custody, inventory adjustments, protocol runs, orders, equipment records, revisions, and report exports in one timeline.
Individual accounts
Everyone signs in with an authenticated account — no shared lab login and no anonymous product access. Recorded operational events preserve their actor where the workflow captures one.
Your data stays yours
Export inventory, Samples, protocols, and projects as CSV, notes as PDF, calendars as ICS, and operational reports where available. Broader data requests are available through support.

See it running on your own lab.
