2. caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured on top of it.
3. Apply lessons learnt in the last 10 years of supporting and interacting with the global biobanking community.

History

Krishangi originally developed caTissue Plus, a free open-source biobanking LIMS/LIS heavily modeled after the National Cancer Institute's caLIMS product.[1] Krishagni also offered fee-based support services for the free software.

In late July, Krishangi revealed OpenSpecimen v1.0 as a rewrite of caTissue Plus, with the rewrite tentatively set to be complete by March 2015. "caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured [sic] on top of it."[2]

Technology and products

OpenSpecimen

OpenSpecimen is an open-source biobanking LIMS/LIS based upon its previous offering NCI caTissue Plus. Both a free Community Edition and a priced Enterprise Edition of the software exist, with the various Pro versions including support, additional plug-ins, and remote hosting.[3]

The Community Edition is freely available and gives open source adopters the opportunity to download, install, evaluate, and use the software at no cost. Users can also view and modify the source code, attend training webinars, and listen in on end-user biweekly calls.

The Enterprise Edition is the same software as the Community Edition with support and additional plugins included for free. The Enterprise package also includes professional support and guarantees, additional features and capabilities, priority for bug fixes and enhancements, access to security patches, and remote server administration.

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.
