The operational problem

Laboratories Should Not Depend on Disconnected Records

Many laboratories begin with spreadsheets, shared drives, paper batch records, handwritten notes, and separate tools for inventory, protocols, sample tracking, reporting, and quality. These systems can work at a small scale, but they become difficult to control as the organization grows.

FlaskTrack creates a connected operational record from planning through execution. Procedures, materials, samples, batches, users, files, approvals, and resulting evidence remain linked instead of being reconstructed after the work is complete.

Common Problems FlaskTrack Addresses

  • Protocol changes without reliable version history
  • Sample and batch records spread across multiple systems
  • Inventory shortages discovered during execution
  • Manual collection of audit and compliance evidence
  • Unclear ownership, review status, and approval history
  • Reports assembled after the fact from inconsistent data
  • Limited visibility into laboratory schedules and work in progress

One connected platform

Laboratory Operations from Procedure to Evidence

FlaskTrack brings the major operational records of a modern laboratory into one structured system.

Protocols & Workflows

Create standardized, version-controlled procedures with structured steps, required resources, scheduling, data collection, review, approval, and reusable workflow templates.

Samples & Lineage

Track samples, source relationships, transfers, execution history, files, status changes, associated species, and complete lineage across laboratory operations.

Batch Operations

Plan, execute, review, approve, release, and report on production or research batches with connected procedures, materials, users, evidence, and step-level records.

Inventory & Procurement

Manage ingredients, tools, biological materials, lots, locations, suppliers, stock levels, reservations, consumption, procurement, purchase orders, and receiving.

Electronic Laboratory Notebook

Capture laboratory notes and supporting files in the context of the samples, batches, protocols, projects, and activities they describe.

Molecular Biology

Manage plasmids, sequence versions, primers, primer pairs, annotations, assembly designs, in-silico analysis, review, approval, and publication of controlled sequence records.

Quality & Compliance

Organize checklists, policies, regulatory tags, exceptions, review activities, validation files, compliance evidence, electronic signatures, and audit-ready documentation.

Reporting & Exports

Generate operational reports and controlled exports from the same structured records used to execute the work, reducing manual reconciliation and duplicate entry.

Scheduling & Visibility

Coordinate laboratory activities using calendars, workflow schedules, step timing, assignments, progress indicators, dashboards, and work-in-progress views.

AI That Accelerates Scientific Work

FlaskTrack integrates artificial intelligence throughout the platform to reduce manual work, accelerate documentation, and help scientists spend more time on research instead of data entry. AI assists laboratory personnel while keeping users in control of every decision.

Generate Protocols from Research Papers

Upload published papers, SOPs, Word documents, or PDF protocols and allow AI to extract experimental procedures into structured, reusable FlaskTrack protocols. Scientists can review, edit, and version every generated workflow before it is used in production.

Create Workflows from Plain English

Describe your laboratory process in natural language and FlaskTrack can scaffold complete laboratory workflows, execution steps, scheduling, required resources, compliance checkpoints, and expected data collection fields in minutes.

Design Plasmids & Molecular Biology Projects

AI assists with molecular cloning projects by helping design plasmids, annotate sequences, recommend primer strategies, organize assemblies, document construct intent, and generate supporting laboratory documentation for review by your scientific team.

Natural Language Reporting

Ask questions such as "Show contamination events this quarter" or "Summarize all batches awaiting QA approval." FlaskTrack can generate SQL-backed reports, dashboards, exports, and visualizations while allowing experienced users to review the generated queries before execution.

Built for Human Oversight

AI-generated protocols, workflows, reports, plasmid designs, SQL queries, and documentation are intended to accelerate laboratory operationsβ€”not replace scientific review. FlaskTrack provides version control, audit trails, approvals, and electronic signatures so generated content can be validated before becoming part of your organization's controlled processes.

Compliance by design

Technical Controls for Controlled Laboratory Environments

FlaskTrack provides technical controls and vendor documentation designed to support customer compliance with applicable GxP requirements and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Compliance remains a shared responsibility: each organization must configure, validate, govern, and operate the system according to its intended use, procedures, risk profile, and regulatory obligations.

The platform is designed to preserve attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original, accurate, complete, consistent, enduring, and available records throughout the lifecycle of laboratory work.

Representative Controls

  • Unique user identities and role-based authorization
  • Time-stamped audit trails for regulated record changes
  • Electronic signatures linked to actions and records
  • Version-controlled protocols, workflows, and sequence records
  • Review, approval, publication, release, and archival controls
  • Controlled files and compliance evidence
  • Validation documentation and traceability resources
  • Session management and security controls
  • Structured exports and durable operational records

Why we built it

Laboratory Software Should Be Powerful Without Becoming a Burden

Traditional laboratory software can be difficult to purchase, configure, validate, integrate, and use. Smaller scientific organizations are often forced to choose between generic tools that lack laboratory context and enterprise systems that require extensive implementation projects.

Santurce Software built FlaskTrack to provide a modern alternative: structured enough for serious operational and compliance needs, flexible enough for growing teams, and approachable enough to become part of everyday laboratory work.

Product Principles

  • Connected records β€” Operational data should preserve context and relationships.
  • Execution first β€” Procedures should guide work, not remain static documents.
  • Compliance as infrastructure β€” Auditability should be built into ordinary workflows.
  • Clear ownership β€” Assignments, approvals, signatures, and decisions should be visible.
  • Open integration β€” Customers should be able to use and export their operational data.
  • Practical usability β€” A controlled system must still be usable by the people doing the work.

Engineered for Reliability

FlaskTrack is built as a modern web application with a strong focus on correctness, performance, security, maintainability, and explicit data relationships.

  • High-performance backend services
  • Relational data modeling with PostgreSQL
  • Server-rendered, accessible interfaces
  • Automated testing and deployment workflows
  • Cloud-native infrastructure and managed operations
  • Versioned APIs and structured data exports
