Laboratory inventory Excel import and export
Most labs start with a spreadsheet. LabVitro is built to meet you there: import your existing inventory records from a structured file, and export a clean copy whenever you need one for review, reporting, or safekeeping.
Import your existing inventory
Coming SoonThe idea is simple: bring the records you already keep into LabVitro. Items, quantities, units, lot numbers, expiry dates, starting from the structured file your lab already works from.
Instead of re-typing a year of inventory by hand, the file becomes the starting point, and the workspace takes it from there.
Export a clean copy
Coming SoonExports are planned in the other direction too: a clean copy of your inventory, ready for review, reporting, or safekeeping.
A portable export means the records are never locked in. Whether that is a quarterly review or a backup habit, the data comes with you.
From spreadsheet to workspace
Spreadsheets are not the enemy: they are how most labs organize inventory today. The problem is sharing. A sheet on one machine is hard to keep current for a whole team.
Import and export are the bridge between the two: your existing records come in, the team works from one structured workspace, and a clean copy can always come back out.

Can I import my inventory from Excel?
Import and export are on the LabVitro roadmap and are marked as Coming Soon on this page. Join the waitlist and we will let you know when they ship.
Which file formats are supported?
The plan is to support common spreadsheet formats such as Excel (.xlsx) and CSV. We will confirm the supported formats when the feature launches.
Do I have to move off my spreadsheet?
No. Your spreadsheet can keep doing what it does. The import is there so that the records you already have can live in a structured workspace alongside the team.
Who owns the data?
Your lab does. Records imported into LabVitro belong to your workspace, and exports are there so you always keep a portable copy.
