stria

a panluminate product

Experiment tracking for research teams, with the review steps built in.

A shared board for everything your lab is running. Work gets proposed, approved before it starts, and reviewed before it counts as done.

One board for the whole team

Each row is a person, each column a stage. Pick a marker to see what you are looking at.

Pick a marker on the board to see what each part does.

Sample data. Nothing here is a real experiment.

Nothing starts or finishes without a decision

An experiment moves left to right. Two of those moves belong to whoever runs the lab, so work is agreed before anyone spends reagents on it, and results are seen before they are filed away.

ProposedAnyone can put an experiment forward.
ApprovedA lead signs it off before work begins.
In progressThe owner picks it up and runs it.
Ready for reviewSlides attached, handed back for reading.
ReviewedSigned off, with who reviewed it recorded.

Every move is timestamped and attributed. Six months later you can still see who approved what, and when.

Built for how a lab actually works

A row for each person

Every experiment has one owner, and sits in that person's row. You can see what someone is carrying without asking them, and a timeline view shows the same work against dates.

Blockers are visible

Flag an experiment as waiting on a decision, a reagent, or another person. Waiting is a state worth seeing rather than something that surfaces in a meeting three weeks later.

Discussion stays with the experiment

Comment on a card, tag someone in, reply in a thread. Unread activity is marked, so a question does not sit unanswered because it arrived in the wrong inbox.

Your existing structure

Projects and sub-projects mirror the folders you already keep, with links through to the right folder, notebook entry, raw data, and slides.

Spreadsheets in and out

Export the board, edit it where you are comfortable, and upload it back. You are shown exactly what would change before anything is saved.

Reads your notebook

Connected to your electronic lab notebook, an experiment shows when its entry was last touched, so a stalled experiment looks different from a busy one.

Free, and staying that way

The board is free for your whole team. Not a trial, and not capped at a number of people that stops a real lab from using it. We build tools for our own microscopy work, and this is one worth handing to the rest of the field.

Later there will be a paid tier for the integrations that connect stria to the rest of your stack. The board itself stays free.

Request access

stria is open to a small number of labs while we learn what it needs. Tell us a little about yours and we will be in touch.

We will only use this to get in touch about stria.
