Kit Expiry Tracker (GMP / Clinical)
Track kit lots, quantities and expiry with FEFO ordering and reorder alerts — tuned for a GMP or clinical-diagnostics facility. 100% in your browser.
Log every kit with its lot, quantity and expiry; the list reorders by soonest-to-expire (FEFO) so diagnostics and assay-development labs use the right stock first and waste nothing. Default shelf-life ≈ 1.5 year(s); stored per insert (often 4 °C). Designed to prevent one short-dated component expiring before the rest of the kit.
Default shelf-life for this category ≈ 540 days from manufacture. Items within 75 days of expiry are flagged.
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is FEFO and why does it matter for kits?+
FEFO means First-Expired-First-Out: you consume the stock with the nearest expiry before newer stock, regardless of when it arrived. For kits this avoids one short-dated component expiring before the rest of the kit, 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 kits typically last, and how should they be stored?+
Unopened, a kit commonly carries about 1.5 year(s) of shelf-life, stored per insert (often 4 °C). 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 clinical/GMP environments require, and it means the tool keeps working with no internet.
Can I use this for a GMP or clinical-diagnostics facility?+
Yes — this variant is tuned for a GMP or clinical-diagnostics facility: the reorder alert is set to 75 days and an audit/CoA reference column is included for traceability. Add your own columns by adapting the entries, and export to CSV to feed your ordering or LIMS workflow.
