Inventory & Reagents

Track stock, reagents, lots, and an inventory ledger.

Last updated July 2026

Inventory and Reagents give your lab a single source of truth for what you have on hand, how much of it is left, and where it came from. Both are available on Researcher and above (and to paid-team members through inherited access).

Inventory Items & the Transaction Ledger

Track every consumable, antibody, kit, cell line, and piece of stock as an inventory item with quantity, units, location, supplier, catalog number, and a low-stock threshold. Quantity changes are never silent edits. Each one is recorded as a transaction in an append-only ledger:

TransactionEffect
Receive / RestockAdds quantity when new stock arrives
Consume / UseDeducts quantity as the item is used at the bench
AdjustReconciles the count after a physical audit
DisposeRemoves expired or unusable stock from the count

The ledger gives you a complete, auditable history of every stock movement, so you can answer "who used the last of this and when?" and trace consumption back to specific experiments.

Reagents Catalog

The Reagents catalog is a structured library of the reagents your lab works with: names, concentrations, storage conditions, hazards, lot numbers, and supplier details. Reagents authored here can be referenced from protocol steps in the designer, so a step's materials stay consistent with what your lab actually stocks.

Keep consumption honest
Log a Consume transaction during a test run rather than batch-editing counts at week's end. The ledger then mirrors reality, and low-stock thresholds can warn you before you run out mid-experiment.
