There are three pricing methods for O3 Lims:
 
'''1.''' You can pay a one-time site license fee (approximately €35,000) + an annual support and development fee of 15% (of the current license fee). The support and development fee will partly depend on the size of the laboratory. Included in the prices are usually all startup costs and parts in O3 Lims. The option exists for vendor hosting or self-hosting the application.
 
'''2.''' You can rent/hire the software for a monthly fee, which is very flexible and depends on the customer's needs and the value that O3 Lims brings to the customer. Approximate costs are €1200/month, support and development fee
included. The option exists for vendor hosting or self-hosting the application.
 
'''3.''' You can take a pay-per-sample route, which features a quarterly charge based on number of samples and reported samples. There is also a small fee per month (about €60) to cover backups and hosting costs. Prices per sample range from roughly 10 cents to €1.80. Price per reported sample: about €1. Charges are capped at about €1500/quarter, with no extra charges for more samples. 
 
Additional pricing estimates for O3 LimsXpress usage costs exist, but the [http://www.bytewize.com/o3lims-xpress/prices/?lang=en cost calculator] is only available in Swedish (though with some translation help).

Bytewize AB develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

Bytewize AB was created as a privately-held Swedish company in 1989, focusing primarily on the operation, maintenance, and support of Linux and Unix servers.[1] By late 1999, the company shifted focus and began working on O3 Lims (the "O3" short for "Object Oriented Organizer"), software designed to emphasize the source of the sample as well as its testing and analysis.[2]

Technology and products

O3 Lims and O3 LimsXpress

O3 Lims is a web-based platform-independent laboratory information management system (LIMS) "is a user-friendly and flexible system that helps you keep track of your samples and results in an effective manner."[3]

O3 LimsXpress is a version of O3 LIMS that is scaled down for small laboratories, with a cost based on usage.[4]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
