Tabulous

Keep your lab’s shared drive. Add the structure it was missing.

Your lab already runs on Google Drive, SharePoint, or Box. Tabulous turns it into a foundation you can finally build on.

  • Simple enough that the whole lab actually uses it.
  • Powerful enough to build whatever you need on top.

01

Keep your drive.

Your files stay in Google Drive, SharePoint, or Box, where your team already works.

Shared drive
      • results.xlsx
      • report.pptx
      • notes.gdoc

02

Add structure.

Design tables around whatever your lab tracks, and link them to fit the way you actually work. Tabulous creates a folder in your drive for each record, so every file has a home.

Which CT26 doses dropped viability below 40% in EXP-042 and EXP-044?

Read EXP-042 and EXP-044

Viability fell below 40% at 3 µM and above in both runs. EXP-044 tracks EXP-042 closely.

Buy or build? Most labs have tried both.

Option 1: Buy

A system nobody uses.

ELNs and LIMS come with plenty of features, and their own way of working. They become one more place to keep updated, separate from where the work actually happens.

Eventually the data drifts back into drives, spreadsheets, and the head of whoever just left.

“Our old ELN was so confusing that we wrote our own 100-page manual for it. Nobody touched either one.”

Brandon Pfannenstiel, Director of Synthetic Biology, Decibel

Option 2: Build

A tool only one person can run.

Claude or ChatGPT can write you a sample tracker or plate-map parser in minutes.

Getting the whole lab to rely on it is a different job: hosting, permissions, maintenance, and getting every tool to agree on the data.

“Before, I’d send out a bunch of Python scripts, hope people knew how to install them, and deal with all the pain of managing deployment.”

Kamin Kahrizi, Associate Director of Bioinformatics, Nanopath

The Tabulous option

Buy the foundation. Build the rest.

Keep working from the files in your drive. Tabulous connects them to shared tables, so your whole lab works from one organized system. Then add the analyses, automations, and apps you need, with logins, permissions, hosting, and audit history already handled.

“Tabulous is the first system our entire R&D team has adopted. Now everyone works from the same data.”

Kelsey Tenney, VP of R&D, Voyage Foods

“Because Tabulous has the boring part figured out, everyone can actually use the cool tools.”

Brandon Pfannenstiel, Director of Synthetic Biology, Decibel

Here’s what Tabulous makes possible.

Keep the spreadsheets. Query them together.

“With Tabulous, everything’s integrated… your raw spreadsheet is already there. There’s no copy, paste, upload here.”

Lauren Salisbury, Scientist, Nanopath

Keep editing your spreadsheets as usual, plate maps included. Tabulous parses them into queryable datasets, so you can ask for every titer since June without opening a single file.

Let agents draft changes. A person approves them.

“The real selling point for us was that we could use Claude to write directly into our registries. Benchling doesn’t allow you to do that.”

Scientist, Radar Therapeutics

Ask Claude, ChatGPT, or our assistant to parse plate-reader exports or match PDFs to experiments. Every change is a reviewable proposal. Nothing is saved until you approve it.

Save a script. The whole lab can run it.

“Anyone on the team can write something and deploy it across the team. I’ve not seen it anywhere else.”

Kamin Kahrizi, Associate Director of Bioinformatics, Nanopath

Write it yourself or have the assistant write it. Teammates run it in the cloud via a simple form input, with nothing to install.

Build an app. Skip the plumbing.

“Our daily scheduler was a Google Sheet so complex that it crashed unless you hid most of the columns. Now it’s a Tabulous app, and we built it without a single engineer.”

Jake Flood, CEO & Co-Founder, Clutch Bio

Describe a plate planner, a dashboard, or a scheduler, and the assistant builds it on your lab’s tables. There’s no database, login page, or API to wire up, because the tables came first.

Ask a question. Get the plot and the code.

“Tabulous makes every scientist on our team a data scientist. Now we do analysis in real-time as the experiments are happening.”

Matt Black, Chief Scientific Officer, Nanopath

Ask about your experiments in plain English. Every figure comes with the Python that made it, so you can check it, rerun it, or hand it off.

Onboard someone. Skip the archaeology.

“I showed her Tabulous one day. The next week she was asking about experiments from months ago. Before, you wouldn’t have had the context to even know what to ask.”

Brandon Pfannenstiel, Director of Synthetic Biology, Decibel

Nobody has to remember where things are. The structure does. New hires search the history themselves, and nothing walks out the door when someone leaves.

What else could it do? Ask your AI.

Every lab’s work is different. Ask the AI you already use what Tabulous could do for yours.

Ask ClaudeAsk ChatGPT

Built to leave. Teams stay anyway.

Switch Tabulous off and your files are still in your drive, organized. Bring your own agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) or use ours. We earn our seat by being useful, not by holding your data hostage.

“If the company decided not to use Tabulous anymore, back to [redacted], we’d have a revolt.”
