Radioisotope Source Expiry Tracker
Track radioisotope source lots, quantities and expiry with FEFO ordering and reorder alerts — tuned for an academic research lab. 100% in your browser.
Log every radioisotope source with its lot, quantity and expiry; the list reorders by soonest-to-expire (FEFO) so radiochemistry and nuclear-medicine labs use the right stock first and waste nothing. Default shelf-life ≈ 0.25 year(s); stored shielded, logged decay. Designed to prevent activity decayed below usable level before the experiment.
Default shelf-life for this category ≈ 90 days from manufacture. Items within 7 days of expiry are flagged.
Indicative guidance only. Always follow the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and your institution's chemical hygiene plan. The SDS and your EHS officer have the final word on handling, storage and disposal.
Free radioisotope source expiry tracker with FEFO ordering and reorder alerts for an academic research lab — runs offline, no sign-up.
About Radioisotope Source Expiry Tracker
A free, browser-based tracker for academic labs — no logins, no SaaS bill, and your inventory never leaves your computer. Log every radioisotope source with its lot, quantity and expiry; the list reorders by soonest-to-expire (FEFO) so radiochemistry and nuclear-medicine labs use the right stock first and waste nothing. Default shelf-life ≈ 0.25 year(s); stored shielded, logged decay. Designed to prevent activity decayed below usable level before the experiment.
How to use Radioisotope Source Expiry Tracker
- 1Add each radioisotope source: name, lot/catalog number, quantity in vials, and the printed expiry date.
- 2Watch the FEFO strip — items within 7 days of expiry are flagged so you can use or reorder them first.
- 3Export the list to CSV any time for ordering, audits or handover; nothing is uploaded.
Why use Radioisotope Source Expiry Tracker?
- ✓Used by radiochemistry and nuclear-medicine labs to stop stock expiring unnoticed and to keep radioisotope source purchasing predictable.
- ✓FEFO ordering surfaces the next radioisotope source to use, and the 7-day alert gives time to reorder before a gap.
- ✓Runs entirely offline in your browser — sensitive lot and supplier data never touches a server.
Frequently asked questions
What is FEFO and why does it matter for radioisotope sources?+
FEFO means First-Expired-First-Out: you consume the stock with the nearest expiry before newer stock, regardless of when it arrived. For radioisotope sources this avoids activity decayed below usable level before the experiment, 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 radioisotope sources typically last, and how should they be stored?+
Unopened, a radioisotope source commonly carries about 0.25 year(s) of shelf-life, stored shielded, logged decay. 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.
