Early Access — Academic Labs

Your lab inventory and experiments, finally in sync.

Inventorae connects reagent tracking and experiment runs in one place — so no one discovers a missing reagent at the bench.

The Problem

Labs still run on spreadsheets and memory.

Most academic labs use one tool for inventory — usually Excel — and a separate one for protocols. Neither talks to the other.

📋

Two disconnected systems

Inventory lives in a spreadsheet. Protocols live in an ELN or notebook. Reagent usage gets re-entered manually — or not at all.

⚠️

Stockouts at the worst moment

Researchers find out a reagent is missing or expired once they're already at the bench — not before the run begins.

🔁

Reactive reordering

Someone notices the bottle is empty. The order goes in late. Experiments get delayed while waiting for reagents.

How It Works

Inventory-first experiment management.

A protocol can't start if reagents aren't confirmed available.

  1. 1

    Track inventory once

    Add reagents, lots, and storage locations. Nothing changes about how you procure — expiry dates and quantities are tracked automatically.

  2. 2

    Create a run from a template

    Define a protocol template once. When a researcher starts a run, the system checks stock availability before anything begins.

  3. 3

    Inventory updates automatically

    When a run completes, consumed quantities are deducted from the right lots (FEFO). No manual re-entry. No guesswork.

  4. 4

    Reorder before it's urgent

    Running low triggers a reorder flag. Export a purchase-ready CSV before a run is blocked.

About Us

Built by researchers and engineers who felt the pain.

Inventorae started as a question: why do academic labs — doing some of the most careful, precise work in science — still track their reagents in Excel?

We're not building another enterprise LIMS. We're building the tool we actually wish existed: lightweight, fast to set up, and designed around how lab work actually flows — inventory first, then experiments.

Who We Are

Two people who got tired of the problem.

Eness Berbara

Co-founder — Research & Domain

M.Sc. microbiology researcher at INRS. Has lived the inventory-in-Excel problem firsthand. Brings the lab workflow knowledge that keeps the product grounded in real research practice.

Co-founder — Engineering

Software engineer at Amazon. Focused on building tools that are simple to adopt and reliable enough to trust with real data. Believes good software for science should be invisible.
