How it works

Everything your lab needs to
stop arguing about instrument time.

No training required. If you can book a restaurant reservation, you can book a PCR machine.

Book from your phone

See real-time availability for every instrument in your lab — from anywhere, in seconds.

No more double-bookings. Ever.

Conflict prevention is baked in — overlapping slots are blocked before they happen, not discovered after you've walked across campus.

Timely reminders

Get notified before your slot starts, if someone cancels ahead of you, or when a previously booked instrument opens up.

Five-minute setup

Add your instruments, invite your lab, and you're live. No IT ticket. No consultant. No manual.

Full feature set

Everything your lab needs,
from day one and beyond.

Start with the essentials. We're building the rest based on what labs like yours ask for.

  • Real-time instrument availability
  • Mobile-friendly booking
  • Conflict prevention — no double bookings
  • Recurring booking support
  • Email & push notifications
  • Cancellation & waitlist alerts
  • Multi-day and overnight bookings
  • Buffer time between sessions
Who it's for

Built for any lab with shared equipment
and not enough hours in the day.

Academic labs

When four grad students and two postdocs share one flow cytometer, someone gets burned — unless the schedule is airtight.

Biotech startups

You bought that plate reader for $40k. You can't afford to have it sit dark because nobody knew it was free Friday afternoon.

Teaching labs

Coordinate student access, block prep time, and confirm the microscopes are free before 30 undergrads show up at 9am.

Makerspaces

Laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC machines — when members share expensive tools, a calendar held together with duct tape isn't enough.
