Blood Product Expiry Tracker
Track blood product lots, quantities and expiry with FEFO ordering and reorder alerts — tuned for an academic research lab. 100% in your browser.
Log every blood product with its lot, quantity and expiry; the list reorders by soonest-to-expire (FEFO) so blood banks and transfusion services use the right stock first and waste nothing. Default shelf-life ≈ 0.12 year(s); stored 1–6 °C (RBC) / −18 °C (FFP). Designed to prevent RBC units crossing their 42-day outdate before issue.
Default shelf-life for this category ≈ 42 days from manufacture. Items within 7 days of expiry are flagged.

Frequently asked questions
What is FEFO and why does it matter for blood products?+
FEFO means First-Expired-First-Out: you consume the stock with the nearest expiry before newer stock, regardless of when it arrived. For blood products this avoids RBC units crossing their 42-day outdate before issue, cuts waste and keeps results consistent. This tracker sorts every entry by expiry automatically so the next item to use is always at the top.
How long do blood products typically last, and how should they be stored?+
Unopened, a blood product commonly carries about 0.12 year(s) of shelf-life, stored 1–6 °C (RBC) / −18 °C (FFP). Always defer to the lot-specific expiry on the certificate or label — manufacturer dating accounts for the exact formulation and is what an auditor will check.
Is my inventory data private?+
Yes. Everything is stored locally in your browser using localStorage — no account, no upload, no server. That offline-first design is exactly what institutional IT and sensitive research environments require, and it means the tool keeps working with no internet.
Can I use this for an academic research lab?+
Yes — this variant is tuned for an academic research lab: the reorder alert is set to 7 days. Add your own columns by adapting the entries, and export to CSV to feed your ordering or LIMS workflow.
