Laboratory operations ยท workflow execution ยท sample traceability ยท audit-ready data

Turn biological procedures into controlled, measurable lab operations

FlaskTrack gives tissue culture teams, mycology operations, and biotech startups one system for protocols, scheduled execution, batches, samples, materials, compliance evidence, reporting, and operational history.

Replace spreadsheet coordination and reconstructed records with live workflows your team can execute, review, report on, and improve.

Operational infrastructure for growing biological teams

FlaskTrack connects the procedure your team intended to follow with the work that actually occurred. Senior operators gain visibility into execution, bottlenecks, contamination, sample state, team activity, costs, and evidence without assembling the story after the fact.

๐Ÿ”

Standardize execution Convert SOPs and methods into reusable, scheduled workflows with required steps, timing, materials, outcomes, and data capture.

๐Ÿงช

Protect lineage and continuity Preserve the history of batches, cultures, samples, transfers, state changes, observations, files, and failures.

๐Ÿ“

Preserve laboratory knowledge Create searchable Markdown notes linked to samples, batches, protocols, workflows, equipment, files, and audit history. Selected notes can also support grounded AI Assistant conversations.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Build evidence during the work Keep approvals, incidents, review events, user actions, and compliance context attached to the records they govern.

๐Ÿ“Š

Manage with live operational data Report across schedules, throughput, contamination, completion, inventory context, custom step data, and team performance.

Chat Integrations Deliver laboratory notifications to Slack, Discord, Matrix, and external systems using secure webhooks. Configure providers, test delivery, and keep your team informed as work progresses.

Plan, execute, and preserve biological work

FlaskTrack connects biological catalogs, reusable protocols, workflows, batches, samples, files, notes, compliance events, and activity records so your team can understand what happened, why it happened, and what evidence supports it.

Researcher identity with ORCID Link team members to their ORCID iDs so laboratory records can be associated with persistent researcher identities. Improve attribution, collaboration, and the continuity of scientific work while maintaining clear ownership of protocols, experimental records, reviews, and approvals.
