From bench capture to connected lab data

Every sample, every step, accounted for.

LabTrace helps experimental biology labs digitalize sample preparation, processing, and execution workflows with structured annotation captured at the bench. Recording what happened, when, how, and under which conditions strengthens reproducibility and captures laboratory activities as structured, machine-readable records for downstream processing and analysis — FAIR-aligned from the start.

From there the same records travel further: validated protocols can be shared with sister labs or published as open science, completed runs are delivered straight to ELN, LIMS, or your downstream data pipelines, and every result keeps an immutable, audit-ready trail.

Get started

Bench-to-Data

  1. Scan a lab step

    Identify the action with its QR label.

  2. Capture the context

    Record the operator, time, measurements, and conditions.

  3. Preserve the record

    Keep an immutable event trail tied to the workflow version.

  4. Connect your data

    Deliver structured, machine-readable records to any ELN, LIMS, downstream pipeline, or custom app.

Scan at the bench

Identify samples and workflow steps with glove-friendly QR scanning.

Capture structured context

Record who, what, when, how, and under which conditions at every step.

Print traceable labels

Generate short codes and print label sheets straight from the browser.

Keep lab data isolated

Role-based access and lab-level separation keep runs and samples under local control.

Connect your lab ecosystem

Use the documented REST API, JSON and XML schemas, and signed webhooks.

Preserve provenance

Immutable event history, document hashes, and measurement provenance create audit-ready records.

Research networks & consortia

Standardize protocols without centralizing lab data

Sister labs can share validated methods while keeping their runs and samples independently controlled.

Organize sister labs

Group independent labs within an organization while preserving each lab's own access boundary.

Share with the right audience

Publish workflows to your organization only or to the public open-science catalogue.

Adapt locally, preserve provenance

Copied workflows become independent drafts while source identity and version history remain traceable.
