Specimen tracking for small and mid-size labs
Know where every specimen is, from collection to the freezer.
Track My Test is a web app that tracks specimens step by step, keeps an inventory of every freezer down to the box position, measures your turnaround times and gives patients a status page for their sample. It stores specimen IDs only, never patient information.
Not launched yet. Runs in a web browser with the barcode scanners you already have.

What Track My Test does
Most small labs track specimens with a mix of spreadsheets, paper logs and memory. That works until someone asks where a sample went, how long last week's specimens sat before testing, or what's in the back of the -80. Track My Test answers those questions from scans your team is already doing.
Specimen tracking and chain of custody
Every step is a scan that records who, when, where and how. You define the steps. History can only be added to, never edited or deleted.
Read more →Freezer and storage inventory
Site, room, freezer, shelf, rack, box and position, with friendly names like "Freezer John", a box grid, check-out with thaw counts and expiry dates.
Read more →Turnaround times and a live dashboard
Collection to receipt, receipt to completion and the total, with average, median and 90th percentile. Overdue and expiring specimens show up as scans happen.
Read more →Patient status page
Give a patient a private link or QR code. They see Collected, In transit, At the lab, Testing, Complete. Never results, and the accession number is masked.
Read more →AI connection (MCP)
Connect Claude or another MCP assistant with your own login and ask "what's expiring?" or "where are study 12's samples?". Read-only.
Read more →Free tools, no sign-up
Print a freezer box map or make Code 128 and QR specimen labels right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
No patient information
Built so you don't have to put patient information in it
Track My Test stores your lab's specimen IDs, the accession numbers you already use. It never asks for patient names, birth dates, addresses, insurance or results. Matching a specimen to a patient stays in your own system, where it is today.
Results are never stored or shown anywhere in Track My Test. The patient status page shows where a sample is in your process and tells the patient that their provider will contact them with results.
- What it stores
- Specimen IDs, steps and scan times, who scanned, locations, shipments, notes, thaw counts and expiry dates.
- What it never stores
- Patient names, birth dates, addresses, insurance details or test results.
- What patients see
- Status and times only, with the accession number masked to its last four characters (for example ••••4821) behind a separate random code.
Who it's for
Track My Test is for labs that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need, or can't justify, a full LIMS project.
- Independent clinical labs
- Clinic and physician office labs
- Veterinary labs
- Research labs
- Biobanks and university core facilities
- Environmental, food and water testing labs
It is not built to replace a hospital LIS or a full LIMS, and it doesn't report results. It uses your own accession numbers as specimen IDs, so it can be used alongside the system you have today. There is no integration with other systems in this version.
Works with what you have
- A web browser. No software to install. The lab app lives at app.trackmytest.com.
- Ordinary barcode scanners. USB or Bluetooth scanners that act as a keyboard work without drivers. Scan a location, then the specimens going there.
- Your own steps. Each lab defines its own process, such as Collected, Shipped, Received, Placed on rack, Testing, Results approved and Stored, each with an optional target time.
- Your printer. Barcode labels for locations print from the browser.
Not in this first version
So you can judge whether it fits: the first version does not include temperature sensors or alarms, LIS or EMR integrations, HL7 or FHIR, instrument interfaces, label printer drivers (labels print from the browser), mobile apps, single sign-on, results reporting or patient accounts. If one of these matters to your lab, say so in the early access form.
Frequently asked questions
What is Track My Test?
Track My Test is a web app for labs. It tracks specimens from collection to storage, keeps an inventory of every freezer down to the box position, measures turnaround times from real scans, and gives patients a status page for their sample. It runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to install.
Does Track My Test store patient information?
No. It stores your lab's specimen IDs (accession numbers) only, never patient names, birth dates, addresses, insurance or results. Matching a specimen to a patient stays in your own system. It is built so you don't have to put patient information in it.
Is Track My Test a LIMS or an LIS?
No. It is not built to replace a hospital LIS or a full LIMS, and it does not report results. It covers specimen tracking, chain of custody, freezer and storage inventory, turnaround times and patient status, which many small labs handle today with spreadsheets and paper logs.
What kinds of labs is it for?
Small and mid-size labs: independent clinical labs, clinic and physician office labs, veterinary labs, research labs, biobanks and university core facilities, and environmental, food and water testing labs.
