BxItems™: Organizes item information in the cloud

What is BxItems?

Items - Anything that can be described in words or files. Examples include office supplies, research reagents, specimen and samples, regular files, gene sequences, research articles, images, videos, and even hyperlinks.

Containers - Anything that items can be put in, both physically or theoretically. For example, a freezer can have many racks and boxes, a box can have 10 by 10 grids and store small tubes, "My lab members" can have a list of group members (name, office location, e-mails, and so on), "My publications" can have a list of research articles, "My favorite websites" can have a list of website URLs.

BxItems™ - a cloud-based information system that:

  • tracks many types of item information (name, barcode, vendor, quantity, storage ...),
  • organizes items into containers, and
  • provides convenient tools for data entry and editing, searching, relocation, and sharing.

You can easily mix and match locations and steps for maximum control and management of your inventory. Each container can be of a custom type. Users can simply relocate the containers through drag-and-drop right on the tree view. With our system you have full control of your inventory online without custom programming.

When you click on the item you can view the full details about the item.
