The inventory workflow helps laboratories manage reagents, consumables, and supplies used during testing. Reagents can be recorded as products, stock costs can be tracked, and used quantities can be dispensed from inventory when processing a laboratory request.

Inventory visibility is important for operational control because reagent usage affects test cost, stock planning, and laboratory profitability. Connecting reagent dispensing to the request workflow helps the laboratory understand how supplies are consumed while keeping stock movement tied to real testing activity.

Key software features include

  • Add reagents and laboratory supplies as inventory products.
  • Set selling prices and record cost prices when new stock is received.
  • Track reagent purchase costs for clearer profit and expense review.
  • Dispense reagent usage from the request bill workflow.
  • Deduct used reagent quantities from inventory automatically.
  • Monitor stock levels and support better reordering decisions.
  • Connect reagent usage to laboratory billing, accounting, and inventory records.
  • Improve cost visibility for tests, panels, and daily laboratory operations.

This helps laboratories understand stock movement, reduce reagent waste, and maintain better control over testing costs.
