Cell-Culture SOP Version Control
Git-style version control for cell-culture SOPs — track every revision, change summary, author and sign-off, tuned for an academic lab. Private and offline.
Keep an immutable, dated history of every cell-culture SOP — each version records what changed, who changed it and its sign-off status. Built for tissue-culture labs who need reproducibility and easy handover when people leave. Nothing leaves your browser, so even unpublished methods stay confidential.
Tip: bump the minor version (v1.1 → v1.2) for small edits and the major version (v2.0) for changes that affect results. Export to CSV for your QMS or an audit.
Indicative planning tool for research operations. Figures are estimates — verify lot data, expiry, calibration and budgets against the original certificates, vendor documentation and your institution's policies.
Free cell-culture SOP version control and change-log for an academic lab: track revisions, sign-offs and an audit trail entirely in your browser.
About Cell-Culture SOP Version Control
A free, offline cell-culture SOP version-control tool for tissue-culture labs. Keep an immutable, dated history of every cell-culture SOP — each version records what changed, who changed it and its sign-off status. Built for tissue-culture labs who need reproducibility and easy handover when people leave. Nothing leaves your browser, so even unpublished methods stay confidential.
How to use Cell-Culture SOP Version Control
- 1Add v1.0 of your cell-culture SOP with a short description of the method (e.g. a passaging or thaw protocol).
- 2Each time you change it, log a new version with a change summary, your name and the date — never overwrite the old one.
- 3Set the status as it moves through Draft / In review / Approved / Superseded, and export the full history to CSV for your records or QMS.
Why use Cell-Culture SOP Version Control?
- ✓Cell-Culture SOPs evolve constantly — this gives tissue-culture labs a Git-style history so you always know which version produced which result.
- ✓Each entry captures a change summary, author, date and sign-off status (Draft → In review → Approved…), giving an academic lab reproducibility and easy handover when people leave.
- ✓Runs entirely in your browser with no account — unpublished protocols and IP never touch a server.
Frequently asked questions
Why use version control for a cell-culture SOP?+
Methods drift over time, and a result is only reproducible if you know exactly which version of the cell-culture SOP produced it. Version control gives every revision a number, a change summary and an author, so you can reproduce old work, justify changes to reviewers, and onboard new tissue-culture labs without losing institutional knowledge.
How should I number protocol versions?+
A simple semver-style scheme works well: bump the minor number (v1.1 → v1.2) for small edits like a reagent swap, and the major number (v1.x → v2.0) for changes that could affect results, such as a new incubation time or instrument. Record the rationale in the change summary so the jump is self-explanatory at audit.
Is this an electronic lab notebook (ELN)?+
It is a lightweight, offline version-control log rather than a full ELN — but it captures the part that matters most for reproducibility: a dated, attributable, immutable history of every change to a cell-culture SOP. You can export to CSV and attach it to your ELN or QMS at any time.
Where is my data stored?+
Entirely in your browser's localStorage — no sign-up, no upload, no server. That keeps proprietary methods and unpublished IP private and means the tool works offline, which is exactly what an academic lab needs.
