Feature
Coming SoonLaboratory QR code tracking
QR code tracking is on the LabVitro roadmap. Print a code on a container, vial, or piece of equipment, scan it, and go straight to the record: what it is, where it is, and its current status.
Why QR codes fit lab work
A lot of lab work happens in front of physical things: a box in the freezer, a rack of vials, a centrifuge. When the record for that thing is three clicks and a search away, it gets skipped.
A QR code puts the record one scan away. Identify what something is, confirm where it belongs, and check its status, without typing an ID or opening a notebook.
What we are planning
The design is to attach QR codes to the things your lab already tracks: storage containers, samples, and equipment. Scanning a code opens the matching record, so identity, location, and status come from the same place.
The goal is fewer manual lookups and fewer transcription steps, not another system to maintain.
Why this is coming soon
QR code tracking is being built and has not shipped yet. This page describes the direction, not a released feature.

When will QR code tracking be available?
It is on the LabVitro roadmap and is marked as Coming Soon on this page. We will let waitlist members know when early access opens.
What will I be able to do with QR code tracking?
The plan is to print a QR code on a container, vial, or piece of equipment, scan it, and go straight to the record: what it is, where it is, and its current status.
Do I need special hardware?
The plan is for scanning to work with an ordinary phone camera or a simple scanner, so no dedicated hardware is required.
Is QR code tracking the same as barcodes?
They solve a similar problem, identifying physical things at a glance. QR codes can carry more information per code, which is what the LabVitro design is based on.
