Online lab multi timer
Use the website when you need several named countdowns running together — incubations, washes, or prep steps — without installing an app or creating an account.
For protocol-linked timers that stay tied to steps download our mobile app.
How it works
- 1Name your timer (for example incubation, wash, or denature).
- 2Set time, then add it to your list.
- 3Start one or more timers and manage each countdown independently.
Who is this for?
Useful for researchers, students, and lab teams who need quick parallel countdowns during experiments, tissue culture, extractions, or instrument runs — especially when several timed steps overlap on the same day.
Multi timer FAQ
Is the Lab Laps multi timer free?Yes. The web multi timer is free and does not require a login. Create named timers, run them in parallel, and control each one independently in your browser.

How many timers can I run at once?You can add as many named timers as you need for a session and start several at the same time. Each timer counts down on its own so overlapping incubations, washes, or prep steps stay visible.

Do timers keep running if I close the tab?Timers run in your browser while the page stays open. If you close the tab or refresh, running timers stop. Timer names and durations are saved locally on your device until you clear them.

Can I pause or reset one timer without affecting the others?Yes. Start, pause, reset, and remove controls apply to each timer individually so parallel work stays manageable.

How is this different from the Lab Laps app?This page is a quick, free multi-timer for the bench. The Lab Laps mobile app links timers to protocol steps, syncs timing across steps, and saves projects for teams — better when step order and handoffs matter.

When should I use the app instead of the website?Use the website for fast, no-login parallel countdowns. Use the app when you need reusable protocols, step-linked timers, sharing, notes, and the rest of the Lab Laps workflow.
