BioRails DM and BioRails ELN

BioRails DM is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) "designed to address a range of workflow driven research activities," including the ability "to design flexible processes and workflows for capturing experimental data."[1] The software can be installed locally or hosted in the cloud.

BioRails ELN is an electronic laboratory notebook that acts as "an effective replacement for paper laboratory notebooks, supporting collaboration between multiple disciplines and individuals across the enterprise."[2]

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.
