Laboratory inventory, reimagined
Take inventory of your lab in minutes — not a whole afternoon.
Aliquotly is a visual laboratory inventory app for freezer boxes, vials, and lab supplies. Point your camera at a label and AI reads it for you, so your lab stock stays accurate and up to date — without the fragile Excel sheet.
From freezer box to full inventory — in a single pass.
The freezer-box ritual every lab knows
You pull a box from a −80°C freezer and place it in a bin full of dry ice. Then you painstakingly lift one vial at a time, squint at a frost-covered label, and type what you can read into a spreadsheet. Eighty-one tubes later, your hands are cold, your back aches — and the sheet is already out of date the moment someone else pulls a vial.
- A cold, slow, error-prone process nobody wants to repeat.
- Excel spreadsheets that are difficult to quickly type into.
- Large, undiscoverable, and outdated Excel spreadsheets that are painful to search or share.
Point your camera. Aliquotly does the reading.
Snap a photo of the label and our AI image-to-text model extracts the name and up to three lines of detail, then drops it straight into the right position on a visual box grid. What used to take an afternoon of transcription becomes a few minutes of pointing and shooting — accurate, legible, and captured the first time. It works the same across any storage condition and box type.

Lab inventory, answered
What is Aliquotly?
Aliquotly is a laboratory inventory management app for freezer boxes, vials, and lab supplies. It replaces Excel with a visual box grid and AI photo-capture so your lab stock stays accurate and up to date.
How is it better than an Excel spreadsheet for lab inventory?
Instead of typing every label by hand into rows and tabs, you photograph each vial and AI reads the label. The box map mirrors your physical container, updates in real time, and is shareable with your team — no stale sheets, no broken formulas.
How does the AI photo capture work?
Point your camera at a label and an image-to-text model extracts the name and up to three lines of detail, then drops it into the correct position on the grid. You confirm or edit, and move to the next tube.
Does it work with -80°C, -20°C, and 4°C freezers and different box sizes?
Yes. Aliquotly works across any storage temperature and adapts to different box dimensions, from 9×9 vial boxes to other container layouts.
Can I use it offline in the cold room?
Yes. Download a box before you start and keep inventorying without a signal; your changes sync automatically when you reconnect.
Who is Aliquotly for?
Academic and R&D labs, biotech and pharma teams, and core facilities and biobanks that manage sample inventory, reagents, and lab supplies across multiple freezers in a simple streamlined way.
