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:
| Transaction | Effect |
|---|---|
| Receive / Restock | Adds quantity when new stock arrives |
| Consume / Use | Deducts quantity as the item is used at the bench |
| Adjust | Reconciles the count after a physical audit |
| Dispose | Removes 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.
