protLIMS was a free open-source caBIG-compliant laboratory information management system designed for the field of proteomics. Only two public releases of the software were made in 2006, with no updates since.

Product history

The Bioinformatics Facility at Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC) initiated development of protLIMS in early 2006 under the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid caBIG initiative.[2] The goal of the project was "to develop a stand-alone LIMS system dedicated to studies in the realm of proteomics" and "to capture the data and metadata to the point in the analytical workflow where sample are prepared for mass spectroscopy."[3] Version 1.0 of the software was released on April 4, 2006, followed by 1.1 on May 19.[1] No further public releases or discussion were made on neither the NCI site or the FCCC site, and the project is assumed to be dead.
