Lab reagent expiry tracker: racks, timeline, reorder list. Works offline.
Know what expires before it does.
Open the fridge, read a label, type it in once. After that the app does the remembering.
Shelf
- Each reagent gets a name, lot, supplier, storage location, barcode or label text, and its received, opened and expiry dates.
- Every card shows a small test tube whose liquid level is the shelf life that is left.
- Search by name, lot, supplier, barcode or location. Mark an item Finished when the bottle is empty, or Opened today when you break the seal.
- Barcode text is typed or pasted from a scanner app or a label photo. The app itself never uses the camera.
Four tags, no guessing
- Expired, Alert, Watch or OK, worked out from the expiry date every time you open the app.
- "Use within days after opening" is supported: the earlier of the two dates wins.
- You choose the alert window (48 hours to start) and the watch window (30 days to start).
Alerts
- One list of everything that has expired or is about to, ready to share as plain text.
- The app does not send notifications, so glance at it when you walk in.
Reagent Expiry Tracker Plus (optional subscription, price shown in Google Play)
- More than 30 reagents (free: 30 active reagents)
- Racks: one rack of tubes per storage place, so you see a fridge or shelf at a glance
- Timeline: everything grouped by when it runs out, from expired to later than 90 days
- Reorder list: reagents with no usable lot left (every lot finished, expired or about to expire), grouped by supplier, ready to share
- Import: paste rows from a spreadsheet to load many reagents at once
Look and language
- Three colour themes: Bench, Cold room and High contrast.
- Menu - Theme and language: phone language (default), English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Arabic (right to left). Non-English text is machine-written and has not been reviewed by native speakers.
- The menu also has How it works, About, Invite a friend, Send feedback and Contact support.
- Export the whole shelf as a CSV spreadsheet whenever you want a copy.
How the dates are counted
An item is usable through the end of its expiry date (11:59 pm phone time). That is this app's own convention, not a regulator's rule, and your lab may count differently. Keep following the manufacturer label and your own procedures.
Where it lives
Your shelf stays on this phone. There is no account and no ads. The Plus purchase and app updates go through Google Play.
