early access · for research labs

The lab that tracks itself.

Orpus watches the protocols your team already runs and quietly keeps your reagent inventory up to date — no barcode scanners, no manual logging, no spreadsheets.

the problem

Manual inventory is broken by design.

Labs lose hours every week to inventory reconciliation. Researchers forget to log usage. Reagents run out mid-experiment. The data to fix all of it already exists — sitting inside your protocols.

how it works

Tracking that runs itself.

Orpus infers reagent usage from the protocols your team is already running — so nobody has to learn a new habit.

1
Define your protocols
Write or import your experiments and tag each step with reagents and volumes — just once. Orpus version-controls every change automatically.
2
Log a protocol run
Mark a protocol as run and Orpus records the reagents it used automatically — every quantity decremented, with no separate logging step.
3
Get explainable alerts
Smart alerts tell you what to reorder and when, with a clear paper trail: run 12× at 200µL, you have ~40% of your Trypsin left.
what we offer

Two tools. One operating system.

Start with protocol version control. Inventory tracking follows automatically as a byproduct of your real experimental activity.

🧬
Protocol Version Control
In development

A version system for your lab's experimental protocols. Every change tracked, every version shareable, with reagent quantities living inside the protocol itself.

  • Create and version protocols with full change notes
  • Share read-only links with collaborators or reviewers
  • Annotate each step with reagent and volume
  • Log runs — consumption is computed automatically
  • Team-wide visibility across every active protocol
📦
Smart Inventory & Alerts
Coming soon

Reagent stock levels that update themselves, and restock alerts backed by real usage data. Every prediction is auditable from the protocol log that produced it.

  • Enter starting stock once, per reagent
  • Automatic decrement from every protocol run
  • "Runs out in N days" alerts with traceable math
  • Barcode scanning to confirm restocks
  • Usage-rate history for every reagent
core insight

The data to predict your inventory needs already exists in your protocols. Orpus just listens to it.

who we serve

Built for labs that move fast.

Orpus is for teams where protocol discipline and inventory control are survival skills, not bureaucracy.

🏛️
Academic research labs
Rotating grad students and postdocs mean knowledge walks out the door. Orpus keeps protocols standardized and inventory visible through every personnel change.
🚀
Biotech startups
Runway is finite, and reagent waste and stockout delays are avoidable costs. Orpus gives early teams the discipline of a larger lab without the overhead.
🔬
Translational research
Reproducibility is non-negotiable when results move from bench to clinic. Version control and auditable records make compliance manageable.
the roadmap

Where we're headed.

We're building Orpus alongside our first labs. Here's what's ready and what's coming next.

foundations
The platform, built
The core platform is up and running — the groundwork that everything else is built on.

building now
Protocol version control
Create, version, and share protocols with reagent-tagged steps — so every run quietly records what it used.

Smart inventory & alerts
Live stock levels and explainable restock alerts, built from your real protocol usage.
Up next

Barcode-assisted restocking
Scan incoming shipments to top reagents back up automatically — closing the loop with your physical stock.

We're onboarding a small group of research labs to shape the product. If manual inventory is slowing your team down, let's talk.

No spam. We'll only reach out about your spot.
