VitrOS / Tissue culture & plant production

The operating system for tissue culture labs.

Track every vessel, manage your lab inventory, and streamline workflows. VitrOS replaces paper logs and spreadsheets so you can scale with confidence. Built for tissue culture and the plant production stages that follow.

Sound familiar?

Tissue culture wasn’t built for spreadsheets.

Every lab we’ve talked to runs into the same three walls. None of them are solvable with another spreadsheet column.

Paper & spreadsheet chaos.

A new vessel takes 15 seconds to log by hand. A new clone line spawns a tab nobody opens again. The audit trail lives in someone’s memory.

Contamination blind spots.

A contamination event spreads across a shelf before anyone notices the pattern. By the time the trend shows up in the weekly review, the line is already lost.

Zero production visibility.

Nobody can answer “what ships next week” without walking the lab. Demand forecasting is a guess. Customer commitments are a leap of faith.

Three primitives. One source of truth.

Vessel state, clone-line lineage, and event routing live in one schema. The product surface is built on those three primitives, not bolted on top of them.

Every vessel, accounted for.

Log a vessel in three seconds. Scan the barcode with your phone camera, no dedicated hardware required. Update stage, contamination, and lineage from any device. The grid is the single source of truth across the lab.

Trace any clone back to its mother.

Cell-line lineage is a first-class object, not a column. Walk the tree, branch a sub-line, archive a generation. The audit trail comes for free, and every clone in the lab carries its genealogy on its label.

Route a contamination event in seconds.

Flag a vessel, the system fans the alert out: shelf neighbours quarantined, mother plant flagged, technician notified, audit log written. Patterns surface by cultivar, location, and media type before the line is lost.

The schema is multi-vertical. The product surface ships in two today: tissue culture labs and commercial nurseries. Four more verticals are in design on the same engine.

Everything your lab needs.

A complete operating system, not a collection of add-ons. Six core surfaces, all built on the same schema.

01

Barcode-based tracking

From initiation through every subculture to hardening and ship-out. One barcode follows the vessel through its whole lifecycle.

02

Phone-camera scanning

Scan vessel barcodes with the phone in your pocket. No dedicated hardware required, no scanner gun to misplace.

03

Contamination intelligence

Spot contamination trends by cultivar, location, and media type before they spread across the shelf.

04

Production visibility

See every stage of production at a glance. Know exactly what’s ready, what’s pending, what’s blocked.

05

Media & batch management

Track media recipes, prep schedules, and batch quality in one place. Tie every vessel back to the media it sits in.

06

Roles & audit logs

Role-based access control with full activity audit logs for every team member. Every change traceable to a person and a time.

80%

Less time logging. More time working.

VitrOS cuts vessel logging time by 80%. A technician logging 96 vessels saves 19 minutes per pass. Across a production shift, that’s two hours back on the bench.

Shipped in the last 30 days.
