Quartzy Tour
Spend less time looking for stuff, and more time getting things done.
Running a lab is challenging, and knowing what you have in the lab and who has it is extremely important to make things run efficiently. Quartzy Inventory makes managing your lab inventory extremely easy, so you can focus on your research.

Getting started is easy.
Quickly upload existing excel inventories by copying and pasting into the Quartzy Excel Template. Or easier still just mail your inventories to us and we will take care of it for you!
Quartzy hosts a growing database of products from major vendors including Sigma-Aldrich, Invitrogen, Bio-rad and more. Just enter the vendor name and catalog number to add the product with all technical details into your inventory.
Find who has what and where it is.
Quartzy connects your inventory to your lab-mates inventories in the cloud to create a shared lab inventory!
Search: You can search you entire lab inventory by reagent name, vendor name, catalog number and more to find products you need in seconds.
Filter: Let's say you only work with a few people in your lab, or you only want to see what's in your -80C freezer? You can filter your inventory so you only see what's important to you.
Migrate inventories when people leave the lab.
Difficult to locate items when lab personnel leave? With the Migrate feature, departing personnel can quickly move all their inventory items, their protocols, or their facilities to others in the lab, which maintains continuity across projects.

Rate and comment on different products.
Ever buy an antibody that didn't work? On Quartzy, scientists from all over the world are contributing to the community by leaving valuable comments about products that they use. The next time you want to order an antibody or any other lab product, you can quickly check Quartzy and buy ones that work!
Automatic regular inventory backups.
We take extreme care to protect your data. In brief, we use a RAID I array for our main hard drive, which backs up your data the moment it's written onto the drive. Then every day the site is backed-up to an external drive. And every two weeks the site is backed-up to tape and the tape is moved off-site in case the data center suffers some natural disaster. That is the level of care we take.
But if you want to feel extra safe at your end you can even get Quartzy to email you your inventory in an Excel format on a weekly or monthly basis.
Reagent expiration alerts.
Want to make sure you're not using expired reagents? Enter an expiration date, and Quartzy will remind you by email 30 days before it expires.
Customizable, yet easy to use.
We thought of many of the common types of items kept by labs such as antibodies, chemicals, plasmids etc. Each type has its own relevant categories making it easy to track your inventory.
But we admit that we haven't thought of everything. You can add custom categories and custom fields within those categories so you can keep track of every important detail of each item.
