A sample record in tinysamples: sample S-142, HeLa p12, status Incubated, with seven timestamped history entries listed newest first and a button to log the next step.

Three moves. Register, log, find.

That is the entire product. Nobody in your lab needs training, and nobody needs a laptop.

  1. 1

    Register

    Type a name or do not. The ID writes itself, and it stays with the sample for good.

    Searching for "hela" returns three samples with their IDs, current status and last activity.

Thirty samples, one screen, worst first.

Samples group by the step they are on, least advanced at the top. Anything contaminated, failed or lost is pinned above everything else — so you see trouble before you go looking for it.

IDs start with S- — wells show the rest.

Before you start

I have never heard of you. Who is using this?
Nobody you have heard of — tinysamples is new, and we are not going to show you logos we have not earned. What we can show you instead is on this page: the product itself, every price and every limit, and an address that reaches the people who built it.
Is this a LIMS?
No. A LIMS runs your whole lab and takes months to configure. tinysamples tracks samples and takes two minutes. If you need instrument integration or validated workflows for regulated work, you need a real LIMS — not this.
Does it work on my phone?
That is the whole point. Everything works in the phone browser, at the bench, with one hand. There is no app to install.
What happens to my data?
Every workspace is isolated, and everything is encrypted in transit and at rest. If you cancel, you keep 30 days of read-only access to export everything before the workspace is deleted.

Two minutes. One sample.

Register one real sample and see whether it sticks.
