Your entire lab. One connected workspace
Protocols, experiments, projects, drugs, genes and calculations in one library — including a controlled-substance logbook that always knows what is on your shelf.
Free while it is being built, and your work exports whenever you want it. Not ready to hand over an address? Trying it makes a temporary account with a lab already in it — add an email whenever you want to keep what you have made. See how it works.
- Built around real lab work
- Designed by a researcher
- Your work exports whenever you want
What it does
Protocols
Written procedures with a version history that cannot be rewritten.
Drugs & stocks
Concentrations, dose factors, and an append-only logbook for controlled substances.
Genes & primers
Sequences, primer pairs and cycling programs in one place.
Calculators
Master mix, dose by weight, dilutions — run inside the record that keeps them.
Experiments
Write one down in a minute, or build a template that pulls from your library.
Mouse colony
Lines, cages and mice — bred, weaned, genotyped and housed to the lab's own rules.
Collaboration
One shared library per lab, with copies that remember where they came from.
How it works
Your lab already has the pieces. Cyzica connects them.
A template points at what is already in your library. Drop in a drug and it arrives knowing its concentration, its dose factor, and that it owes a log entry. Drop in a gene and both primers and the program come with it.

Build your lab library
Protocols, drugs, genes, solutions, mice and calculators — shared by the lab.

Build an experiment template
Drop in what the library already has. It arrives knowing its details.

Connect records to a project
A record files under a milestone, and the project moves on.

Built to be shared
A lab is one shared library, not a folder each of you keeps.
Everyone in a lab reads the same protocols, drugs and calculators, and a copy always remembers where it came from. Need someone who is not in your lab? Connect with them directly instead.
Create or join a lab
Every lab shares one library — protocols, drugs, calculators, everyone in it can read. Search by a lab's exact name or its short code, and an owner or manager decides who gets in.
Connect with co-workers
Reach someone outside your lab too. Send a request, then share a single protocol or calculator with them directly — no lab required.
Built for animal work
Built for the work other lab notebooks overlook.
The large electronic notebooks are built around molecular biology and sample tracking. Weight-based dosing, surgery worksheets, an append-only logbook and records an IACUC inspector would accept are served badly or not at all.
A dose factor gives a volume — a 25 g mouse at ×20 gets 500 µL — and the app says so before you draw it up, warns when the stock no longer matches the factor, and writes the entry when the record is submitted.
- Especially powerful for animal research
- Designed around records an inspector would accept
- Simple, flexible, and actually pleasant to use
The colony itself lives here too — lines, cages and mice, bred and weaned and genotyped to the lab’s own rules. See how colony management works.
What it looks like
Screenshots of the application itself, with a lab’s worth of made-up data in it. Nothing here is a mockup.
How it is built
Three rules the application is constructed around, rather than promises about how carefully it will be used.
- Nothing is readable by default
- One piece of code answers every question about who may see what. Not a rule per table that somebody forgets to set.
- Quantities are numbers with units
- Never text. A concentration you cannot compute with is a concentration that cannot be checked, and 1 mL is exactly 1000 µL everywhere.
- Regulated records only grow
- The drug log and the audit trail have no edit and no delete, by construction rather than by policy.
Still being built
Cyzica is in active development and this is worth saying plainly: equipment booking and a phone app are designed for but not yet built. Everything shown above is working today — the pictures are screenshots of it, not drawings of it.
Accounts used to be by invitation only, and are not any more — anybody can make one. There is a feedback link inside, and it carries the page you were on when you used it, because “the timeline is confusing” is nearly useless and the same sentence with a page attached can be acted on.
