What's New in Cell Culture and Lab Assistant

2.5.7

September 28, 2026

New: Export Everything (PDF), in Settings > Data & Backup. One PDF of your whole lab: cultures with their history, experiments, notebook, tasks, freezer, reagents, cell lines, equipment, protocols, plate layouts, recipes, sequences and the Logbook. It replaces the Lab Handover Pack. Restoring a backup now brings back everything it should: - The Logbook. - Cell counts and viability logged on a culture. - Links from freezer items, tasks and Logbook entries to your reagents. - Your own media and buffers in the Media and Buffer Recipe calculators. Also fix: - The Lab page counted some experiments twice. - Lab Notebook: every Logbook entry now lines up on the left. - Importing a CSV file the app cannot read now says why, instead of "No new items imported". - Delete All Data now also clears the task list on your Apple Watch. - With the largest text sizes, icons are no longer cut off, and rows, buttons and grids make room for the text, so far fewer words are split across lines. - Lab Bundle is gone: Export Backup (CSV) already includes everything it had. - Backup files edited in Excel on Windows now import. - A mycoplasma test reminder that rings the day after it was due now says how late the test really is.

Best Lab Inventory Tracker!

This app goes above and beyond for my needs! I haven’t experienced any bugs, this allows you to store your data without third-party concerns, and it is very straightforward. I found a post on the biochemistry subreddit and had to try it out because I formulate skincare and cosmetics, so I obviously don’t need to use every category or feature available for my type of lab, but for my purposes (inventory of packaging, tools and reagents, organization of products and tasks, basic calculations, notes, stability/basic microbial testing), this is perfect for keeping data simple, clean and all in one place. I can’t believe it’s FREE, but I am so thankful that it is!!

Thank you so much for this incredible review! It's awesome to hear that the app adapts well to your cosmetics lab. Keeping data private, simple, and free is exactly why I built it. Please feel free to reach out if you ever have any feature requests or any feedback. Best, Umut
