Sample Management Software

A digital window into your physical lab.

Track the locations of vials, wells, batches, and more – and automatically link results to them.

Lab inventory management software natively unified with your life science cloud

Optimize space usage and never lose track of a sample again

Benchling offers custom inventory structures, barcode integration, and location tracking so you don’t have to spend time hunting for samples.

Connect physical samples to their experimental context

Interconnect your samples, experimental results, and metadata to identify promising candidates. Submit assay requests directly from input samples.

Automate location tracking to ensure data integrity

By integrating with instruments such as plate readers and barcode scanners, Benchling automatically keeps samples up to date.

Track the locations of your samples in custom containers

Configure custom storage types and locations (ex. “Box” data type; “Site” data type)
Configure custom storage box dimensions
Track locations for containers and samples within containers

Label printing and barcode scanning

Zebra printer integration for one-click printing from Benchling
Barcode scanner integration pulls up any sample’s full experimental history
Automatic barcode generation according to business rules
Add information from the Registry to printed labels

Develop integrations for automated data entry

Plate readers and FACS machines
qPCR machines, DNA sequencing machines, and Bioreactors
Materials testing machines, such as DMA machines, Zwick machines, and light microscopes
Barcode scanners and printers

Link your Inventory to upstream entities in the Registry

From an entity in the Registry, see all the downstream samples and results that were produced. For example, see all the results produced by antibody candidates with a particular variable chain
From an entity in the Registry, see the locations of all the downstream samples that it produced. For example, see all the locations of a particular cell line

"With Benchling, it's so much faster and easier to find the information that you want, and share information even in real time. Series of experiments go faster, program timelines go faster, and it shortens the timelines for the development of our therapeutics."
