How to Track Vial Stock and Expiration in PeptideCalc
Direct answer
For stock and alerts, expand the saved protocol on Protocols and tap Edit stock & alerts to open Inventory Item. For supplier, batch, and other vial metadata, swipe the protocol left, tap Edit Protocol, expand Inventory & Safety, enter the label information, and tap Save.
PeptideCalc separates day-to-day inventory counts and alerts from the extra metadata stored with a saved protocol. Use the path that matches the information you need to record.
Copy dates, identifiers, and storage details from your own label or records. The app does not determine shelf life, expiration, or storage instructions.
Scope: This page explains PeptideCalc controls and software workflows. It does not choose a medication, dose, liquid, syringe mark, preparation method, or administration technique. Use the product label and instructions from a licensed clinician or pharmacist to decide whether any input or result is appropriate. Inventory fields are recordkeeping tools. They do not establish product identity, safety, shelf life, or storage requirements.
