PiMS is a free laboratory information management system (LIMS) solution that "enables researchers to enter data, track samples and report results during the production of recombinant proteins for structural and functional applications."[2] The free version is meant for academic use, though a commercial version of the software is also available.

Product history

PiMS funding came from the BBSRC SPoRT consortia of the Scottish Structural Proteomics Facility (SSPF) and the Membrane Protein Structure Initiative (MPSI), starting in January 2005.[3][4] A working version 1.0 of the software was released was released on November 2, 2006.[1] Version 2.0 of the software arrived exactly a year later, with 3.0 releasing on July 8, 2008 and version 4.0 on January 1, 2010.[5]

On December 3, 2012, the PiMS Project Steering Board announced a commercial version of the software, PiMS Pro, would become available through partner Emerald Bio.[6]

  • sample management and tracking
  • experiment and project management
  • query tools
  • workflow management
  • web-based
  • results recording and analysis
  • reporting
  • inventory management
  • document management

Hardware/software requirements

Requirements aren't clear.
