The problem is not generating information
Information does not disappear.
It gets scattered.
Every time you work with a strain, new data, documents, images, results and tasks are generated. When everything ends up scattered across folders, spreadsheets and emails, recovering the complete picture is no longer immediate.
Scattered information
All the information exists, but it remains scattered across documents, sequences, images, protocols, results and tasks.
Everything connected to the strain
Data
Batches
Controls
Documents
Notes
Reminders
How it works
Without changing the way you work. Simply by connecting all the information around each strain.
2. Connect all your information
Link data, batches, controls, documents, notes and reminders to each strain from a single place.
3. Preserve its complete history
Every change is recorded so that knowledge remains accessible, traceable and available over time.

Everything connected
The complete history of every strain
Strains, batches, controls, documents, notes and reminders remain connected throughout the entire lifecycle.
Built-in versioning
Review previous versions and recover any document without leaving the application.
Always up-to-date taxonomy
Work with the most current classification thanks to real-time integration with LPSN, MycoBank and GBIF.
Do not adapt the way you work
Every collection has its own processes. menta adapts to yours.

Reminders linked to each strain, batch or task help you keep daily work under control from within the application.
Access control
Users and permissions adapted to the structure and needs of your organisation.
You choose how to deploy menta
Use menta on our infrastructure or install it on your organisation's own servers. The application is the same.

Spanish and English from day one. Other languages available on request.
Professional support
We support you during implementation and day-to-day work so that you can get the most out of menta.
Taxonomy always up to date
Microbial classification changes continuously. menta queries mentaxonomy in real time to display the currently accepted species name without modifying the original data in your collection.
✓ Unified access to authoritative sources.
✓ Results updated in real time.
✓ Ready to incorporate new sources.
