What is ChemInventory?
ChemInventory is a secure, cloud-based software solution designed specifically for laboratory chemical inventory management. The platform enables research groups to efficiently organize and track chemical containers while providing instant search capabilities by name, CAS registry number, chemical structure, or custom fields. Chemical structures are automatically assigned to containers based on CAS and name data, with the option to manually draw structures for in-house compounds.
The software integrates GHS safety information from multiple sources to provide up-to-date hazard data, including hazard definitions, precaution codes, GHS pictograms, and safety descriptions. This information is prominently displayed during container addition, order requests, and container viewing to promote laboratory safety practices. ChemInventory supports barcode assignment for containers to facilitate stocktaking procedures and includes features for tracking chemical orders and monitoring group expenditure.
