Antibody management for research labs
Your −80 is a black box.AbTrove makes it searchable.
One registry the whole lab can see: every antibody, lot, and location, with notes and history attached. Nobody re-orders what's already in the freezer, and nothing walks out the door when a postdoc does.

Spreadsheet vs AbTrove
Your antibody inventory deserves more than a shared spreadsheet.
A spreadsheet rots the day you build it. AbTrove keeps your whole lab in sync.
The shared spreadsheet
- Right only if everyone updates it
- You open the box to find out
- No idea who changed what
- Whoever has the file controls it
- You buy what you already own
AbTrove
- Updates itself as the lab works
- See what's in every box without looking
- See who changed what, and when
- Everyone sees the same live inventory
- Tells you it's in stock before you order

Why this matters
Your antibody inventory is quietly costing your lab more than you think.
01
Knowledge walks out the door
The postdoc who left in May was the only person who knew which anti-tau lot worked for IHC. The lab notebook just says “Abcam #ab32057: good.”
02
Money disappears into the freezer
Three people in the lab have ordered their own aliquot of GFAP this year, because none of them could see what was already in the −80.
03
Onboarding eats real weeks
A new PhD student spent her first two weeks in the lab learning where things live and what works, not doing experiments.
Imagine being the lab everyone points to. The one whose freezer is always organized, whose antibodies are always accounted for, whose new hires are productive on day one. That's not luck. That's process.

Why we built AbTrove
Built by working scientists.
Dr. Helen Murray
Co-founder & Principal Investigator
Senior Research Fellow at the University of Auckland's Centre for Brain Research, leading the Brain Injury and Neurodegeneration group. I built AbTrove because the tools we needed to track antibodies didn't exist, or cost more than our grants could carry.
Brandon Wallace
Co-founder & Head of Product
I've spent my career using software to make scientific teams more efficient and quietly remove the operational waste no one was hired to manage. AbTrove is the version of that mission I'm proudest of.
Open the freezer this afternoon.
