Sesame LIMS is a free laboratory information management system (LIMS) solution that "supports the gathering, organization, processing, and analysis of information from a variety of sources, including databases, bench scientists, laboratory instrumentation, and software packages."[3]
Product history
Sesame LIMS is based on a project designed by John Markley and Eldon Ulrich of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Biochemistry Department in 1997 for the development of a "Computerized Desk-Top Management System for Biomolecular NMR."[4] The tools weren't able to sufficiently provide reliable results in the laboratory, and with demand for better biomolecular data management still high, developer Zsolt Zolnai led an effort in 1999 to create a new system: Sesame. With the help of special funding, Zolnai and others began work on a client-server computing infrastructure "to assist in managing and linking individual steps in a biomolecular NMR project and to allow remote collaborations and/or expert help at various stages."[5][6] The first usable structures became available on March 20, 2000[1][2], and the system was presented at the 41st Experimental NMR Conference in Asilomar, California on April 9–14.[6] Throughout the decade, additional modules were added as web-based Java applet-applications useful to researchers working in structural genomics, structural biology, and metabolomics.[1] Today the application can be used online via the university's hosted instance or installed as a private instance.[3]
Features
The current modules are[3]:
- Sheherazade: for wetlab, NMR, crystallization, cryo-EM, and much more
- Sundial: for spectrometer schedules and time requests
- Lamp: for metabolomics
- Jar: for target requests
- Well: for crystallization, cryo-EM, and NMR screens
- Camel: for NMR
- Rukh: for Y2H screens and requests, V screens, and C screens
- Bazaar: for lab administration
- Jafar: for the TargetTrack browser
Hardware/software requirements
Installation requirements, files, and instructions are listed on the install page.
Videos, screenshots, and other media
Demonstration videos can be found on both the Sesame site and YouTube.
Online help guides are also available.
