A lab inventory management system is software that helps laboratories track, manage, and optimize the use of reagents, consumables, and samples. It automates inventory tracking, stock alerts, and order management, eliminating reliance on outdated lab inventory spreadsheet methods. Unlike manual tracking, a lab inventory management system provides real-time visibility into stock levels, integrates with lab equipment, and ensures accurate data logging. For example, a molecular diagnostics lab processing 2,500+ patient samples per month can use a lab inventory management system to track reagent usage, prevent shortages, and streamline compliance reporting.

Scispot’s lab inventory management software automates stock management, reducing the need for manual data entry and preventing inventory errors. It eliminates manual logging by integrating barcode scanning and automated data updates, significantly reducing stock management time. It prevents reagent shortages by automatically monitoring stock levels and sending low-stock alerts to ensure uninterrupted workflows. The system ensures compliance by tracking audit logs, lot numbers, and expiration dates, helping labs meet regulatory standards. Scispot integrates with LIMS, ELNs, and lab instruments, creating a unified laboratory inventory management solution that enhances efficiency and accuracy. Labs currently relying on a lab inventory spreadsheet can transition to a lab inventory management system to reduce supply chain risks and improve operational control.

Scispot’s lab inventory management system integrates with various lab instruments, software platforms, and automation systems. It supports connectivity with liquid handlers such as Hamilton and Tecan, plate readers from Biotek and Molecular Devices, and analytical instruments including mass spectrometers and chromatography systems. It also integrates with ELNs for experiment tracking, LIMS for automated sample data management, and accounting or procurement tools for vendor management. For example, a cancer research lab using an LC-MS system can automate chemical inventory tracking, batch logging, and order requests, ensuring that experiments are not delayed due to missing reagents.

Yes, Scispot’s laboratory inventory management software provides real-time reporting with detailed insights into inventory usage, cost optimization, and regulatory compliance. Labs can generate stock usage reports to track reagent consumption and predict future needs, cost analysis reports to monitor spending and optimize procurement, and compliance audit reports that help maintain 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 15189 regulatory standards. The software also supports custom reports, allowing labs to schedule automated reporting and share data with team members. By replacing outdated lab inventory spreadsheet tracking methods, Scispot ensures that lab inventory data is always up to date and accessible in a structured format.

Scispot ensures enterprise-grade security for all lab inventory management data by implementing encryption, controlled access, and compliance-ready audit trails. It utilizes AES-256 encryption for secure data storage, role-based access control to prevent unauthorized modifications, and automated backups to prevent data loss. The system maintains audit logs and version tracking to ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11. Scispot is a cloud-based laboratory inventory management solution providing secure, remote inventory data access. For labs requiring on-premise deployment due to regulatory or data security concerns, Scispot offers configurable security settings to meet institutional compliance requirements. Laboratories managing sensitive genomic data, clinical biospecimens, or regulatory-controlled reagents can rely on Scispot’s lab inventory management system to ensure secure and compliant inventory tracking.

Scispot is committed to maintaining the integrity of your existing LIMS systems, such as LabWare or LabVantage. Our lab inventory management system integrates seamlessly with these platforms, allowing comprehensive tracking of reagent and material consumption while keeping sample data separate. This approach ensures data consistency across all systems, avoids duplicate data entry, and supports smooth, efficient lab operations.

Scispot provides highly configurable reporting and dashboard capabilities that allow you to track project-based and contract-based spending on materials and supplies. These tools enable you to design custom views and metrics that align with your specific reporting needs. Additionally, Scispot helps you visualize trends and patterns in inventory usage, empowering you to make more informed decisions regarding resource allocation and laboratory stock management software.
