Self-hosted chemical inventory

From structure
to shelf. One system.

Search molecular structures, manage physical samples, validate SDF imports, and keep every inventory change traceable—without giving up control of your data.

One connected workspace

Chemical identity and physical inventory stay together.

Molhaven replaces the gap between structure files, spreadsheets, and shelf labels with a searchable system built around how a laboratory actually works.

Core workflows

Built around the work,
not around a spreadsheet.

These are current product screens from the live demo—not design mockups.

01 / Search

Find compounds by structure or metadata.

Draw a molecule, run exact, substructure, or similarity search, then move through the catalogue with filters and infinite loading.

  • Integrated molecular editor
  • Name, registration number, and SMILES search
  • Stock visibility directly on compound cards
  • Filtered SDF export

02 / Inventory

Navigate storage without losing context.

Move from rooms to racks, boxes, and individual cells in one explorer. Occupancy, quantities, and sample details remain one click away.

  • Room, rack, box, and cell hierarchy
  • Descriptions and fast location search
  • Occupied and empty cell filters
  • Box-level SDF export and restore

03 / Data migration

Import SDF files with a review step.

Uploading a file does not immediately write to the database. Map properties, validate every row, review conflicts, and only then confirm the import.

  • Separate compound and inventory-field mapping
  • Reusable mapping profiles
  • Warnings and row-level error reports
  • Replace, add, or reject quantity conflicts

Operational control

More than a compound catalogue.

Molhaven includes the controls needed to run a shared inventory reliably after the initial data import.

A

Traceability

Audit every important change.

See who created, updated, or deleted compounds, inventory items, storage locations, users, tags, and settings—with exact before and after values.

Recovery

Schedule box-level SDF backups.

Store private snapshots in S3, keep a configurable retention window, create backups on demand, and preview a restore before applying it.

Data enrichment

Bring metadata in without guessing.

Look up PubChem data or search CAS Common Chemistry by InChI. When CAS returns several matches, the user chooses the correct compound before anything is applied.

Access control

Keep public discovery separate from inventory.

Anonymous visitors can browse compound structures and stock status, while locations, quantities, analytical data, administration, and exports remain protected.

Your data, your rules

Deploy Molhaven around your infrastructure.

Run the application services with Docker, connect the database and AWS resources your organisation controls, and place access behind your own domain, TLS, firewall, and identity policies.
