PlateMapper

Integrative Crop Improvement Lab

About this app

PlateMapper is a specialized utility designed for laboratory technicians, researchers, and scientists to streamline the process of mapping 96-well tissue sample plates. Built for speed and accuracy, PlateMapper operates entirely offline, ensuring your sensitive data never leaves your device.

Key Features:
• Rapid Scanning: Use your device's camera to instantly scan barcodes or QR codes for fast data entry.
• Visual Plate Mapping: Easily assign scanned samples to specific well locations on an interactive, digital 96-well plate interface.
• Audio Feedback: Prevent errors with audio cues that confirm successful scans and alert you if you attempt to scan a sample into an already occupied well.
• Complete Privacy: 100% offline functionality. Your lab data is stored securely in your device's local database and is never transmitted over the internet.
• Seamless Export: Export your completed plate maps to CSV format for easy integration with your LIMS, databases, or laboratory spreadsheets.
• Flexible Data Fields: Support for essential mapping fields including Plant ID, Well Location, Tissue Plate ID, Genotype, and Plot ID.
• Session Sync: Export your current scanning progress as a JSON file to backup your work or share it with colleagues to pick up where you left off.

Whether you are processing hundreds of samples for genotyping or organizing a single plate, PlateMapper replaces error-prone paper workflows with a fast, digital, and highly reliable solution.
