You can search the Biologics Registry in the following ways:
Note: If you use a '-' hyphen as a name separator element (as shown in the example below), search will interpret it as a minus, or NOT operator. The hyphen also breaks the search term into two elements. To search for a name with a hyphen you need to surround the search term with double quotes.
- Searching for "es-1" will find the expression system ES-1 and related elements.
- Searching for es-1 without the quotes will return results that contain "es" and not "1". This will include the "es-1" element (because it does not contain the string "1") but will also return many unrelated results that only contain "es".
Application-Wide Search
To search the entire application, including Bioregistry entities, Samples, and Notebooks, enter your search terms in the
search box in the header.
Results are displayed as tiles, as shown below.
Click
Advanced to filter by
Entity Type. The dropdown is populated by the entity types known to the system, it is not limited to those in the existing results.
Select the desired type and click
Search. Results will be filtered to only the entity type selected.
Search for Samples in Bulk
Using the dropdown menu to the right of the search box, you can:

Sample Finder
This feature is under active development and will be expanded to support more scenarios and deeper ancestry searches in future releases.
Use the
Sample Finder tool to search for samples based on filter criteria using:
- Registry Parent Properties: Properties of direct-parent Bioregistry entities like a Molecule or Expression System from which the samples were drawn.
- Sample Parent Properties: Properties of parent samples and/or raw materials.
Open the
Registry/Sample Parent Properties tile(s) to see a full listing of candidate types and fields. You can add filtering criteria tiles for as many registry or sample parent types as needed.
The set of samples matching the criteria will be shown as you build your filters. Note that if you leave and reenter the Sample Finder, your accumulated criteria will be retained.

Grid Search
Above a grid, you can use the
Search box to search any text fields in the data grid.
Note that hidden columns are not searched. To control which columns are visible and which are hidden, see
Biologics: Grids, Detail Pages, and Entry Forms.
Filter Grids
You can use the
button, or the filter option on any column header menu to filter the grid. Select the column to filter, enter an expression and comparator value if needed, and provided the first expression is not exclusive, you can add a second filtering expression on the same column.
Once filtered, the grid will display only those rows where the expression is true (for the selected column).
To add a new filter, click the
button, or the filter option on any column header menu.
Sort Columns
Sorts control the order in which rows are displayed. Below we have sorted the Name column 'descending', i.e. from high to low values. Note that for a text column like "Name", this is an alphabetical sort, not numerical. You can see "PS-9" listed first here.
Data Grid Selections and Paging
Data grids provide a column of checkboxes on the left for selecting each individual row. Check the box in the header row to select all rows on the current page.
The "Current page" button includes a
dropdown menu.
- You can jump to the first page or last page and see a count of the total number of pages.
- Control the page size using options: 20, 40, 100, 250, 400.
- Step one page forward or back using the "<" and ">" buttons.
Once you've selected a page of rows, you will see buttons to select all the rows on all pages, or clear those already checked.
