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.

See how it works

No sign-up required. Trying it makes a temporary account with a lab already in it, so there is something to poke at — add an email whenever you want to keep what you have made.

  • 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.

Collaboration

One shared library per lab, with copies that remember where they came from.

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.

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

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: mouse colony management, 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.

That is also why accounts are by invitation for now: everybody using it is somebody whose lab we can go and ask how it went.
