HOW IT WORKS

Set up in a day. Trusted for every audit.

Phase 1 covers everything a single lab needs. Sharing with nearby labs and the supplier store follow in later phases.

Your lab, Phase 1

1

Register your lab

The PI enters lab details, an institute email and a mobile number for alerts.

2

We approve it

The LACMA team checks every new lab before it goes live, then notifies the PI.

3

Add your team

Give each person a sub-ID and a role: PI, lab manager or staff. The PI desk is for the PI only.

4

Add stock

Enter reagents manually or import your Excel sheet. Bottle-photo and invoice scanning arrive in Phase 2.

5

Log every use

Search, amount, unit, one tap. Entries within ±2% are accepted; one entry can never exceed a full bottle.

6

Alerts and log book

Expiry alerts at 30, 7 and 1 days by app, email, WhatsApp and SMS. The PI generates the log book anytime.

Phase 2

Sharing surplus between labs

01

List

Post a reagent you won't finish, with amount, lot and expiry.

02

Request

A lab in your city requests it. You accept, then chat to arrange handover.

03

Hand over

Porter delivers within the city. Flammables and cold-chain items are pickup only.

04

Confirm and earn

Credits arrive when the receiver confirms. A dispute within 48 hours holds them for review.

Credit calculator

Every shared reagent is valued at 70% of its purchase price, opened or sealed.

Price per mL
₹0.1000
Valued at 70%
₹0.0700
Value of what you share
₹14.00
Credits earned
1.40

Credits = quantity × price per unit × 0.70 ÷ 10. 1 credit = ₹10 for calculation only; credits can't be bought or cashed out. They arrive once the receiving lab confirms, and stay on hold if a dispute is raised within 48 hours.
