Lab Inventory Mapping

Where is the Microscope Room or Bay 2?

How researchers describe locations in a lab or building can be unclear. This is especially apparent in transition periods such as on boarding new hires, joining a lab yourself or moving an existing lab.

To solve this problem, Lab Spend now allows you to map your inventory

To get started, upload an image of your lab, freezer, refrigerator or more! Once uploaded go to: Inventory -> Manage -> Map

Creative labs have used images that include safety information such as eye wash stations, chemical showers and the location of gas valves.

Next, simply click from your existing locations on to the image to place a pin.

Inventory Map with pins:

Need to move your freezer? No problem, you can update the pins with just a couple of clicks.

Once the locations have been placed, item location paths can be clicked to show their location.

Now anyone in the lab can search for item in your inventory then see where it is physically located in the lab.
