BonsaiLIMS was a free lightweight open-source laboratory information management system (LIMS) solution that "allows users to manage their studies and sample data though a secure web interface."[2] The software was implemented as a module, which can then be embedded into a larger portal application via Django, a Python web framework.[2]
Product history
Members of the Translational Medicine Research Collaboration (TMRC), a partnership of several Scottish universities, pharmaceutical company Wyeth, and Scottish Enterprise[3], needed an inexpensive and easy-to-implement laboratory informatics system for their research facility, so they decided to develop one to meet their requirements. Their goal was stated as wanting to[2]:
- move bench scientists involved in translational research away from ad-hoc data recording
- provide central management of lab data
- improve sample management
- improve collaboration between lab scientists
A SourceForge project was created on November 23, 2010, the same day as its original public release.[1] The project was never updated, however, and appears to be abandoned.
Features
The developers released a short user guide on SourceForge detailing what the software does.
Hardware/software requirements
Installation requirements and instructions are listed on the SourceForge page.
Videos, screenshots, and other media
The user guide on SourceForge has a few screenshots of the software.
