Most labs cobble together a notebook, a spreadsheet, an email thread with a vendor, and a folder of PDFs. Prodigy Labs replaces all of it with one connected system.
Capture experiments by voice or text with AI. Lock, witness, and sign entries. FEFO lot selection links reagents to results. Export to .eln — your data stays yours.
Track every sample bench-to-COA. Westgard QC rule enforcement, audit-ready certificates, and audit trails that hold up in a review — generated, not assembled by hand.
First-expiry-first-out lot tracking with predictive reorder alerts. When you hit a threshold, the platform drafts the RFQ automatically instead of leaving it on a sticky note.
One catalog, RFQ-to-order, and a spend view across vendors. Orchestration over punch-out — you keep your supplier relationships, we make them faster and cheaper to run.
An assistant that answers questions from your lab's own data, plus a registry that tracks every instrument, calibration, and service record in one place.
Submit analytical tests straight from your ELN — peptides, metabolomics, microplastics, residual solvents, and more. Results and COAs flow back to the originating experiment.
Google Sheets and a free Benchling seat get an early lab surprisingly far — until the day an auditor, an investor, or a lost lot asks a question the spreadsheet can't answer.

The free tools aren't wrong — they're just unconnected. The cost isn't the subscription; it's the hours you spend gluing them together and the answers you can't produce when it counts.
