Efficient and accurate sample organization is one of the most important aspects of modern
biological science. Coordinate is an Android application that is used to organize sample
identifiers into virtual grids. Sample identifiers are collected via text or barcode into individual
cells that are structured in a Cartesian coordinate grid. Grids inherit properties from user-defined
templates including their dimensions, row and column naming, metadata fields, and any specific
cells to exclude from data entry. Grids are exported as CSV files that are easily integrated
into downstream analysis pipelines since metadata fields are user-defined. Grids can also be
grouped into projects and exported as a single ZIP file. Coordinate can be further customized
with options to change the direction of cell procession for data input, add notification sounds,
input random blank cells for quality control, and adjust the level of uniqueness required for
incoming sample identifiers. Two default templates are included with Coordinate: DNA Plate
