Why it matters

When everyone knows what's on hand, science moves faster.

New students find anything on day one.

One live record of every reagent, sample, and supply, so nobody has to ask where things are.

Stretch every grant dollar.

Check stock before you order and stop spending grant money twice on the same thing.

Lab knowledge survives graduation.

Years of history on every item stay with the lab, plus an archive for things you've stopped using.

Experiments don't wait.

Find what you need in seconds instead of waiting on a delivery for something you already had.

Features

Everything it takes to run a well-stocked lab.

Lot & expiration tracking

Trace any figure back to the exact lot.

Record lot numbers and expiration dates for every item, and set reminders before stock expires. When a reviewer asks which lot you used, the answer is already in the record.

  • Lot number and expiration on every item
  • Expiration reminders before anything goes to waste
  • Reproducibility built into your lab's records
EHS compliance

Effortless EHS compliance.

Your inventory builds itself as the lab requests, so every chemical is already there with its Safety Data Sheet attached. When EHS asks, filter by hazard, export or print the report, and send it over in minutes.

  • Every chemical captured in the normal course of requesting
  • Filter by hazard class or chemicals only
  • Export or print a report for EHS in one click
Barcodes & mobile app

Students update counts at the bench.

Print barcode labels right from Quartzy. Anyone in the lab can scan with the Quartzy mobile app to find an item or update the count.

  • Print labels for any item or location
  • Scan with your phone, no hardware budget needed
  • Every update syncs to the whole lab instantly
Nested locations

Shared freezers, sorted.

Set up your space the way it really is: building, room, freezer, rack, box. When labs share rooms and freezers, everyone knows exactly what's whose and where.

  • As many levels as your space needs
  • Box maps show exactly which position holds what
  • Move items without losing their history
Never run out of the basics.

Never run out of the basics.

Set minimum and maximum levels on any item. When stock drops below the minimum, Quartzy drafts a reorder for your PI to approve, then sends it through your university's purchasing system.

  • Min/max thresholds on any item
  • Reorders go to your PI for approval
  • Orders go out through your university's PunchOut

Plus, the everyday essentials.

Easy uploads

Bring your existing spreadsheet. Import in minutes, or we'll migrate it for you for free.

Consumption reports

See what gets used, how fast, and by whom, so you can plan purchases before you run low.

Full audit log

Every change records who made it and when, so you're ready for grant audits and compliance reviews.

Archive

Retire items you no longer use without losing a single record of their history.

Connected to procurement

Receive straight into inventory.

Inventory is built into Quartzy's requests module, so every order lands on the shelf and in the system at the same time.

  • Orders placed through your university's PunchOut arrive in Quartzy
  • Mark an order received and it's added to stock, with lot and expiration
  • Requesters are notified the moment it arrives

Quartzy is a game changer for keeping up with a busy lab, and I've been very impressed with how much it's developed over the years that it's been part of my workflow.
