About SampleX

Our Mission

SampleX is a marketplace for research materials with a private-by-default dashboard for labs and institutional teams. Institutions list samples, run transfers, and collaborate while keeping records compliant.

The SampleX Story

Scientists often work within constrained funding. We realized we didn't have enough grant support to organize yet another expensive sample collection trip to Alaska to get permafrost samples. A researcher from the University of Alaska helped us out by collecting samples and sharing them with us for free.

With SampleX, we're paying it forward.
