Getting started
What xPlant is for
xPlant is the tissue-culture-native Lab Operating System. Built for plant tissue culture, xPlant helps organize culture records, standardize SOPs, and keep tissue culture workflows consistent and traceable.
How xPlant Organizes Tissue Culture
How the Tissue Culture Process Connects
In xPlant, a Plant represents the source plant for tissue culture work. One Plant can be linked to multiple Explants, and each Explant develops its own history through a series of Stages. Transfers, observations, and media records stay connected to that history, making it easier to review how each culture developed over time.
The source plant from which tissue culture material originates. It keeps identifying information and links related Explants back to their original source.
An individual tissue culture established from a source plant. Each Explant maintains its own history through Stages, Transfers, observations, contamination records, and associated media.
A phase in an Explant's development, such as Explant Initiation, Multiplication, Rooting, or Acclimatization. Each Stage records status, dates, observations, and room context as part of the Explant's development history.
A record of moving or subculturing culture material — capturing who did it, when it happened, the relevant Stage and media context, and any observations at the bench.
Additional Capabilities
Tools for Tissue Culture Lab Workflows
SOPs
Standard operating procedures your lab documents and reuses. Link relevant SOPs to Plants or Explants and log execution status, timestamps, and notes when a procedure is performed.
Media recipes
Documented tissue culture formulations with components, concentrations, target pH, and preparation notes. Link recipes to Plants or Explants and record media on Transfers so formulation context stays connected to culture history.
Contamination logs
Record contamination events on any plant or explant. Capture what was observed, follow-up actions, and outcomes so patterns emerge over time.
Comments
Threaded discussion on any record. Mention teammates, pin decisions, reply to observations, and reference other plants or explants inline.
Lab rooms
Physical spaces in your facility. Assign Stages to rooms to keep location context connected to culture records and make it easier to see where active work is happening.
