## Description

Log treatments, run timers, and calculate dilutions — for 6- to 384-well plates, gel lanes, PCR strips, petri dishes, and flasks.

PlatePad is a fast, focused way to track multi-well plates at the bench — no spreadsheet, no paper notebook.

CREATE ANY FORMAT
6- to 384-well grids, configurable gel lanes, 8-tube PCR strips, petri dishes, and T-flasks. Save any layout — including which treatment goes in every well — as a reusable template for routine experiments.

LOG TREATMENTS AT A GLANCE
Tap a well to name what's in it. Every distinct treatment gets its own color automatically, so a full plate reads at a glance from across the bench. Mark wells treated with one tap.

TIMERS THAT NOTIFY YOU
Start a countdown from any plate — quick presets or a custom duration — and get notified the moment it's done. Never lose track of an incubation or wash step again.

BUILT-IN LAB CALCULATOR
Solve dilutions (C1V1=C2V2) or hemocytometer cell counts without leaving the app, including how much stock and diluent to combine for a target seeding density.

NOTES AND MORE
Keep plate-level notes for observations about the whole experiment. Archive old plates instead of losing them.

WORKS EVERYWHERE
A responsive layout that works on iPhone, iPad, and in landscape — the plate map switches to a side-by-side view on larger screens so dense 96- and 384-well plates stay easy to read.

FREE TO START
Track up to 3 active plates at no cost.

PLATEPAD PRO
Unlimited active plates and CSV export for every plate, with monthly, yearly, or one-time lifetime purchase options.

No account, no login required — your plate data stays on your device.
