Open-LIMS is a free extensible open-source project management suite designed to be organism- and structure-independent. Its design is based upon a workflow that encompasses pre-experimental and experimental processes. Post-experimental procedures such as data analysis can be added through software extensions. [2]
Product history
Open-LIMS appears to be the brainchild of Roman Konertz, a graduate student with the "Dictyostelium discoideum Functional Analysis" project at the University of Cologne.[3][4] A SourceForge project was started for Open-LIMS on November 24, 2010, followed by the first public release of the software about a month later.[1] The release was classified as an unstable alpha "for evaluation and testing purpose only."[5]
As of May 2014[update], no stable production-ready version of the software has been released, with unstable test releases being released from 2011 to 2014, the latest being Version 0.4.0.0 on January 20, 2014.[6]
Features
The features of Open-LIMS are not yet clear as the project is still in the alpha stage. However, Konertz claims the features of Open-LIMS are closely tied to the needs of biological laboratories working in functional genomics, especially those in microarray and microscopy projects.[4]
Hardware/software requirements
Preliminary requirements for the alpha release can be found here.
Videos, screenshots, and other media
Early screenshots of Open-LIMS can be found at the Open-LIMS website.
Demo information can be found here.
Entities using Open-LIMS
As the project is still in alpha, there are no known users.
