OpenLabFramework (formerly Open Laboratory Framework) is a web-based laboratory information management system (LIMS) front-end — with additional electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) capabilities — that provides an extensible framework for better laboratory functionality.
Product history
The OpenLabFramework project appears to have began as the "Open Laboratory Framework" project, with it first being opened up on Sourceforge on February 15, 2010.[3] by Jochen Thomas and Markus List, likely as part of a project through German software developer OSTHUS.[4][5] The last SourceForge-based file release was with version 0.7 on December 7, 2011[1]. On January 7, 2014, the project moved from SourceForge to GitHub[1], with several updates to the software arriving in 2014 and 2015.[6] This coincided with the 2014 publication of a research paper on the software by List et al., citing the following as reason for the software's creation[7]:
There is, however, no dedicated LIMS for the management of large vector construct and cell line libraries. At our Lundbeck Foundation Center of Excellence in Nanomedicine (NanoCAN) at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense such large-scale libraries need to be handled efficiently ... This motivated us to develop a novel open-source LIMS platform: OpenLabFramework (OLF).
In the fall of 2015, List et al. published another paper describing a new add-on to OpenLabFramework called "OpenLabNotes." Citing the benefits of integrating a home-grown ELN into the LIMS platform, the group stated: "OpenLabNotes effectively closes the gap between research documentation and sample management, thus making OpenLabFramework more attractive for laboratories that seek to increase productivity through electronic data management."[8] OpenLabNotes was first introduced to the framework with version 1.3.0 in February 2015[9] and significantly improved with version 1.3.2 in May 2015.[10]
