The inventory

Starting materials — the chemicals and consumables on your shelves — live in a shared inventory so that samples can point at the actual bottle they came from.

Adding a starting material

Your instance may make this admin-only

Whether ordinary users can edit the inventory is a deployment setting. If the add button is missing, ask whoever manages your stores.

Warning

Hazard information in datalab is a convenience, not a substitute for the supplier's safety data sheet or your institution's risk assessment process.
