A free, customizable lab ordering app built on one Google Sheet and Apps Script
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-11-13
A new PI released a free, customizable ordering app for labs, courses and iGEM teams: copy one Google Sheet with attached Apps Script, set up in 15 minutes, and the code is yours. It handles requests, approvals, tracking, budgets, reorder alerts and chemical safety, with filters by vendor/requester/grant ID, delivery-status flags, and spend-by-vendor charts. Motivation: nobody mentions it in faculty interviews, but lab procurement usually devolves into a shared spreadsheet plus Slack nagging, with one trainee quietly doing all the ordering — no existing tool fits every lab's workflow.
