Lab Laps
Lab Laps is an all-in-one laboratory management application designed for scientists and researchers. It integrates essential lab tools such as step-by-step protocol management, multiple configurable timers, and a suite of calculators for molarity, dilution, buffer preparation, master mixes, and unit conversions. Additionally, it includes AI-powered image recognition features like a colony counter, blood cell counter, and an image measurer, enabling automated analysis from lab photos. The app aims to streamline bench work by consolidating disparate tools into a single platform accessible via web and mobile devices. The protocol tracker allows users to plan, check off, and execute protocols in a structured manner, reducing the need to juggle multiple applications. The multi-timer function supports running several simultaneous timers with clear labels and reliable alerts. Lab-specific calculators, such as for dilution series, molarity, and cell culture calculations, help scientists perform accurate math without leaving the bench. The AI colony counter automatically counts bacterial or cell colonies from uploaded images, saving time and improving reproducibility compared to manual counting. Lab Laps also provides ready-to-use templates for lab protocols and reports, aiding in documentation and standardization. With over 50,000 users, it is positioned as a trusted companion for labrats across various disciplines.
