The Random Sampling Planner is a lightweight offline HTML tool designed to help laboratories generate clear, randomized sampling plans for lots, batches, containers, and defined sampling locations.
Instead of manually choosing containers and locations—or relying on ad hoc spreadsheets—this tool lets you define your sampling structure and automatically generate a randomized plan that can be reviewed, printed, and exported for use in the field or lab.
This micro-app runs entirely in your browser with no installation, no subscription, and no data upload.
