'''MASTR-MS''' is a modular [[laboratory information management system]] (LIMS) that handles metabolomics experiments and data, including the tracking and recording of metadata.

==Product history==
It's not entirely clear, but the earliest documented beginnings of MASTR-MS are found with the first major project commits on July 30, 2009 on GitHub.<ref name="MASTR-MSStart" /> The project was born out of a collaboration between Metabolomics Australia (founded in 2007) and the Australian Bioinformatics Facility at Murdoch University, where a "large number of projects and clients/collaborators" necessitated "the development of a flexible LIMS for capturing experimental and analytical [metabolomics] data..."<ref name="MetaboNews12">{{cite journal |title=Metabolomics Australia and its Bioinformatics Capabilities |journal=MetaboNews |author=Dayalan, S.; O'Callaghan, S.; DeSouza, D.P. et al. |issue=10 |year=May 2012 |url=http://www.metabonews.ca/May2012/MetaboNews_May2012.htm}}</ref> Early releases in 2010 featured sample tracking, data management, and experiment definition, with future updates anticipating the addition of experiment design tools.<ref name="BALtdAnnualReport10">{{cite web |url=http://www.bioplatforms.com/wp-content/uploads/BPA_AR2010.pdf |format=PDF |title=Bioplatforms Australia Ltd.
