The biobanking LIMS that connects every sample to the science
Uncountable gives R&D and testing labs biobank software inside their research platform. Every vial, aliquot and plate stays linked to its source, its storage history and the results it produced.

One sample bank for every collection you run
Most biobanks stop at the freezer door. Uncountable keeps every sample linked to its history and the results it produced, whether it’s a strain in your own bank or a client sample in your testing lab.

Ask your biobank a question
Bodie, Uncountable’s AI assistant, answers questions that cross your whole sample bank, then acts on the answer.
- Ask which aliquots meet a spec, and where they’re stored
- Question what was in a freezer during an excursion
- Reserve samples and print labels in the same conversation
Move to one connected record, one collection at a time
Moving off spreadsheets and logbooks doesn't mean migrating every record at once. A practical start is one collection where history and results matter most. That might be a strain or cell bank that feeds active programs, a collection with consent restrictions, or a freezer group that keeps losing samples.

The Uncountable way
Biobank software for storage, tracking and results, in the platform your scientists already use
Freezer management that finds any sample in seconds.
Map every freezer, LN2 tank and shelf down to the box position, and know where a sample is before you open the door.
- Go straight to the right box position without opening every door
- Scan a box to see what’s inside, before you open it
- See which samples sat in a freezer during an excursion
- Move a rack or empty a freezer and every sample updates at once
Every freezer, LN2 tank and box is mapped down to the grid position, so sample tracking starts the moment a vial goes in. When a sensor flags an excursion, you see exactly which samples were affected, not just which freezer.
Trust every sample's history.
Every aliquot knows where it came from, how it was stored and who handled it, from intake to disposal.
- Move from any aliquot up to its master stock, or down to every derivative
- Flag samples nearing their freeze-thaw limit before they’re used
- See who handled a sample, and when, with a signature on every hand-off
- Answer audit and client questions without digging through logbooks
Every aliquot carries its full story, from source and lineage to freeze-thaw cycles and who handled it. That history builds itself as work happens, so audits, investigations and partner questions don’t mean digging through logbooks.
Run the bank, not the spreadsheet.
Sample requests, reservations and shipments move through one workflow, with your sample inventory always up to date.
- Assign samples to wells from the inventory, not a spreadsheet
- Upload instrument and well data straight onto the plate
- Keep every result tied to the sample in that well
- Spot failing wells against spec as soon as data lands
Assign samples to wells, upload well data and link every result back to the exact sample, from a single plate to thousands of samples a week.
Turn stored samples into results.
Samples link straight to the experiments, plates and test data they produced. Trace any result back to its source, or pull every result from one cell line.
- Trace any result back to the exact aliquot it came from
- Compare results across lots, passages and storage history
- Find every result a strain or cell line has produced
- Pull values from certificates of analysis and PDFs without retyping
Uncountable connects your biobank to the experiments, plates and test data that use it. You can trace any result back to the exact aliquot, compare outcomes across lots and passages, and see which samples are worth keeping.
Donor and consent records that travel with the sample.
Link donors, consent and study details to every sample, and control who can see and use them.
- Clients and colleagues request samples through a portal, not email
- Stock and agreements are checked before anyone approves
- Approved samples are reserved so they can’t be double-booked
- Every shipment leaves with a manifest, tracking and a signed hand-off
Clients and colleagues request samples through a portal, and each request is checked against stock and agreements before approval. Shipments carry manifests and courier tracking, and every hand-off is signed.

When every sample is linked to its storage, custody and results, you always know what you have, whether you can trust it, and what it produced.
FAQs
A biobanking LIMS, also called biobank or biorepository software, tracks biological samples and specimens from collection to disposal. It records where each sample is stored, how it was handled, what it was derived from, and who used it. Uncountable adds the link from each sample to the experiments and results it produced.
Yes. Uncountable supports GDPR and is HIPAA compliant, and we sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with customers that handle protected health information.
Yes. Every sample carries a freeze-thaw count that users update in one click, alongside its full storage and temperature history.
Yes. Custody entries are signed with PIN e-signatures and kept in a full audit log, from intake through use, shipment and disposal.
Yes. Lineage tracks every passage, aliquot and derivative, and each strain or cell line links to the experiments and products it supports.
